Mabel was Samuel and Mary Geyer’s daughter. She attended school on west side of road (across from Sally Burns’ farm) in Madison County about 1 mile south of Chuckery on Route 38. This school had just 8 grades. She did not want to quit at grade 8 so she repeated grade 8. Then, she began clerking in the Chuckery General Store in 1897 under Mr. McCullough. She worked there until 1904 when she got married. (Store closed in 1946.) She probably worshipped at Lewis Chapel Methodist Church from 1893 till it was closed in 1923. As a young mother with small children, she was an active member of Lewis Chapel Methodist Church.
