• Notes

  Married: Joseph Henry Byington on 31 Oct 1913 in Pocatello, Bannock, Idaho Viola died on 2 Jul 1981 in the hospital in Twin Falls, Idaho. She had suffered a stroke the day before. She was taken to the hospital in Twin. Most of the grandchildren got to spend a bit of time with her before she was called home. She was able to have one of the dearest wishes of her heart right up to the very end...that she be able to be independent and take care of herself. Viola was raised by her grandparents for the first eight years of her life. In the last year of her life, she shared these memories of them. "I lived with them and went to school. They lived quite a ways up on a hill, and I would walk to school, carry my lunch, and go to school…just lived with them just like it was my home. One night, this was after my father had died in Plain City, (that would have been John Rogers Miller)…they had taken me there. Grandma said it was just before Christmas, and grandpa never milked his cows till a certain time, he always milked at a certain time in the morning and a certain time at night. He had two cows." In the last years of her life, Viola admitted to her granddaughter (Karen Byington Davis) that she was illegitimate. She was born previous to their marriage on 2 Aug 1894. Viola said that John Rogers Miller was her father and she went by his name.
