Louis Mailes was nearly 30 years old when he was married to Miss Cora Alma Grainger. Miss Grainger
a 20 year old young lady of the community had moved there in November of 1884, when she was 7 months old. Her parents
lived about 1/2 mile from the farm the Mailes purchased when they first moved to this area. Louis and Cora then bought a farm on the northeast section of the same area where
his parents had settled, and just one half mile south from her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Lewis Grainger. Louis
and Cora had 12 children, 7 boys and 5 girls. 1.
