    Notes:

    From Reflections of yester-years, page 117.: Between 1911 and 1914 William Smith operated the saw and grist mill at Burdin, not only sawing logs, but grinding glour, meal and chop from grain. The family lived for a period of time in the house just north of the mill. It was here in 1913 that his grand-daughter, Corothy (Thorne) Turner was born. William's daughters, Lola, Sophia and Maude were operators in the telephone exchange. Lola recalls that she was on duty when the Purdin School burned. Every drop on the board fell, so she could not answer all the calls. Lola was also a seamstress in the upstrains shop in the Purdin Mercantile. Later she went to people's homes, sometimes a week or more at a time, fashioning new clothes and getting their wardrobes in shape for the new season.
