she [Mary Elizabeth (Humphreys) "Dixie" Johns] was the daughter of the late Albert and Edna (Riley) Humphreys and was the great niece of James Whitcomb Riley the American poet. She studied English literature at Denison University in Granville, and later attended Louisiana State University in Baton Rouge, LA and Ashland College in Ashland. She was an avid reader; politics, history and religion were her favorite topics, and she spent many evenings reading the English classics and poetry to her children or guiding their education.
