The little girl in the front, Helen Esther was named for Helen Keller.  John King was a gardener for a wealthy man, who was Helen Keller's Uncle.  She often visited the estate.  Anyway, in the 1960's, Helen Esther wrote this about Mary Ann Miller Bayless...

 

"Grandmother King (Sara Bayless) was a very tall, thin woman.  Her mother, whom we called Grandmother Bayless (Mary Ann Miller Bayless) lived with the family.  She lived to be in her nineties,  She was a very religious woman who read the Bible every day.  She had lots of visitors.  But I don't remember having seen her do any kind of work.  She had her own room with a coal fire place, a beautiful rocker, a Martha Washington bedside table, and she rocked herself and sang psalms,  and knitted very fine white lace with thin steel needles.  She looked like the picture of Whistlers mother.  She taught me a lot about the Bible and also a lot of Nursery Rhymes."
