My Father, Harry Lloyd Routt, told me often about his father, getting a good job, buying a car to drive to work in Vicksburg , he had a flat and was changing the tire when he was struck by another car on the side of the road. His widow had to move the family to Meridian and stay with kin until she could find a house of her own, on Grand Ave. in Meridian. My father later met my mother, on Grand ave. where her father owned Peller Electric Motor repair, . When my father got back from the Pacific at the end of WW2, he courted, and married Violet Rose Peller, and went to work for her father at Peller Electric until his death in 1982
