Miss Dixie and Little Joe


Miss Dixie, which was what most of us called her though she was a widow, holds her grandson, Little Joe Deaton, in a picture taken in the early 40s as Joe was born while his father was in Italy during World War II.

Miss Dixie was for many of us our first grade teacher.

As I have mentioned on this blog before, after her husband died, Miss Dixie and her sons boarded with my grandparents and became like members of the family. She later bought the house directly across from Aunt Grace.
