Dora Smith's father, Charles C. Smith and mother, Mary Johnson Smith, were from pioneer families, both of whom arrived in Cedar County in 1854. Mrs. Dora Kahler died in 1969 at the age of 91. Mr. Kahler was educated in rural schools near Mechanicsville and graduated with one of the first classes. He often told of clearing trees and brush from the fields with axes and teams of horses, and of fencing fields with "stake and rider" log fencing or by planting hedge (Osage orange) fences. He also told of the Indians who traveled each summer to camp on the banks of Pioneer Creek. They hunted roots and berries in the timber and begged produce from the settlers. Rattlesnakes, wolves and prairie chickens were a common sight in those pioneer times. He would also point out traces of an old wagon road crossing a timber pasture and continuing on into neighboring fields and tell of the night settlers fled down the road toward Mechanicsville to escape the devastation of a tornado that had swept through the White Oak community. As a young man, he had often joined ice skating parties on the mill pond north of Mechanicsville. Charles and Dora Kahler were the parents of twin daughters who died in infancy and another daughter, Adria (Mrs. Leon Ralston), who received her education in the Mechanicsville schools, graduating with the class of 1933. She was married to Leon D. Ralston in 1942. Leon Ralston's maternal grandparents, August (Gus) Pieper and Mollie Cameron Pieper, were descendants of pioneer Cedar County families.
