Carole and I express sympathy to Mrs. Wade's family; Mrs. Wade died Wednesday night at Darlington Oaks in Verona. She and Cecil Duke, who was married to my first cousin, were first cousins. I met and spoke with her son Charles and his wife, Diane, and with her daughter, Betty; however, I don't think I met Hilda Miller, her other daughter.
I read in her obituary that Hilda was married to James Miller who died this past August. I am fairly certain that her husband was James Miller who went to Plantersville High School and who was my basketball coach when he was in high school and I was in the fifth or sixth grade.
Estelle Wade was my very special grandmother. My dad,James Miller, grew up in Plantersville and was married to Estelle's daughter, Hilda. My grandparents were James S (Jimmy) and Ruby Bradley Miller who lived in Plantersville. Their house is gone now, but the water tower is where it was. My sisters and I often visited Plantersville with them, going to Mr. Harve Mitchell's store, and to Cecil Johnson's. My dad died in August 19, 2010.
