MILLER
Kae, some corrections on your Miller information: Benjamin Harvey Miller b. 27 March 1872 d.
7 February 1907; Woodmen of the World; married Ida Dickerson.
(Buried at Blue Springs. A small grave plot was left between my
grandparents' graves because my dad (Barham Harvey) was not expected to survive
since he was only two weeks old when his mother died.) Their children:
J. N. "Jimbo" Miller b. 29 November 1892, d. 20 February 1971;
married Ida Woods (daughter of Ann and Whit Woods). (Buried at Blue
Springs.) Their children: Oralee m. Rufus Burnette, Maudice
"Pet" m. Elton Milstead, Sylvian "Sib" married Milburn F.
"Coot" Milstead, Beatrice "Dub" m. Clifford
Anderson).
"Ellie" Miller m. John Woods (brother of Ida Woods who married Jimbo
Miller). (They are buried at Blue Springs in Etoile.) Their
children were: Wallace "Bud" m. several times, current
wife is "Maxine" (Bud was a prisoner of the Japanese during WWII);
Lee Ora m. Bill Goins; Charles "Whip" m. Yvonne; "Junior"
John Woods (he's been married a couple of times – first wife was Rosalee;
cannot remember the name of #2 even though she is the
granddaughter of his mother's sister Bertha) and Effie who died of blood
poisoning when she was a teenager. (She's at Blue Springs.)
Lillie (I don't believe it was spelled "Lily") who we always called
"Aunt Penny" married. Pat (I think Pat was a nickname too)
McVey. Their children were Lois (Allen); Odis (m. Gene Scott),
Lloyd, Mozelle, and Aubry who died of polio in the 50s. (Aubry was buried
in Houston and his parents are probably in the same cemetery. I cannot
remember which cemetery since I was a kid when he died, but I want to say Forest
Park - Lawndale.)
Bertha married a Posey.
Arthur married Ossie Posey (the sister of Bertha's husband). (Buried at
Blue Springs) They had one daughter "Ruth." And my dad, Barham Harvey Miller m. Almarene
King (daughter of Rufus King and Lucy Wisener). My dad's at Blue Springs,
my mother is at Old Union.
If you go to Old Union, there's a row of my immediate family at the back of the
cemetery. Eric King, Doyle King, Almarene Miller, Lucy King, Romelus
Wisener, Robert Wisener, Nancy Wisener, Isabelle and Romelus Emmett Wisener,
and Nancy and George Christian. I love that cemetery since I'm related to
so many people there.
