I am the only grandchild out of 11 grandchildren of Edward Layman who had the privilege of knowing him personally. I remember Daddy Layman as I called him being over six feet tall with large hands. He was both a school teacher and later a farmer and orchardist in Botetourt County. He attended the college of William & Mary, Williamsburg, Virginia in 1893/94. (I presently have one of his grade reports that was dated Dec. 14, 1893). He taught school a number of years before his marriage to May Nininger in 1901.

May's parents , Caleb & Eliza Nininger gave them a farm in Amsterdam. Botetourt County, Va. as a wedding gift as they did for all four of their daughters. Ed & May lived in Amsterdam until sometime between 1910 & 1911 when they built a new house on acreage purchased in Cloverdale, Botetourt County, Va. Four sons were born in Amsterdam and three in Cloverdale. I never had the privilege of meeting my grandmother May because she died in June 1923, some two years after the birth of her seventh son Robert in June 1921.

I have a vivid memory as a child of 4 or 5 visiting my grandfather in the 'big house' (as I called it) in Cloverdale. I could ride my tricycle in the big hallway thru the living room and kitchen back into the hallway. He would have classical music playing softly from his radio while we were visiting. Also we could see the large barn from his windows and the many sheep that he raised.

Sometime in early 1941 because of poor health, he came to live with us in Roanoke so that he could be closer to his doctors. Since I had not started school yet I was able to be around him a lot. We would take long walks together around the block and I would ride my tricycle. Wayne (my brother b. Dec. 1941) was just a baby and I always wondered what he thought of his first two grandchildren.
