Dear Robert, Can you tell me if there was a Lewis Alexander Miller that was a minister at that church at one time. He would be my g-grandfather. Im trying to trace back my roots from Des Moines and a few other locations in MO. I would appreciate any help that I could get on this family tree. You can reply at cjpresler@tds.net. Thanks for your help.
