Peter Hopley was indentured and spent his youth working the farm rather than going to school. Edna Everly's early years were in a dirt-floor cabin near the tiny settlement of Iranistan. He fought Indians and hauled freight for the Union Pacific Railroad. She was still a child when her drunken father was found beaten to death on the road near Turkey Creek.
