Moncure Daniel Conway writes in his autobiography, vol. I, p. 16: "My grandmother (nee Catherine Storke Peyton) was to her numerous grandchildren the queen of the whole world. When any school holiday came the joy of it was that they were to go to "Erleslie", and how so many children were packed away at night is inexplicable. On one side of the house was a playground. We had our supper in summer under the apple-trees--griddlecake and molasses, bonny-clabber, preserves. Our aunts attended us, and near by sat "grandma"--tall, stately, eyes sparkling with humor, her head crowned with a snowy turban, clasped with a ruby and a rose."
