I used to email her daughter Charlotte, we found each other online, then found that our families were distant relations and my aunts knew her mom. Elsie wrote me a letter when she sent me a copy of her book a year or two before she died. Elsie Rhea Ford Miller 04/26/2002 - Miller Elsie R. Miller, 90, of Louisville, formerly of Clarkson, KY, died Wednesday at Caritas Medical Center. She was preceded in death by her husband, Acie R. Miller.

The funeral will be at 11:00 a.m. Saturday (CDT) at the Watson & Hunt Funeral Directors in Leitchfield, KY. Burial will be in the Fairview Cemetery. Visitation will be after 12 p.m. Friday (CDT) at the funeral home. --------- Wade Singleton Miller b. 1844 married Sabra E. McSherry. He was the son of William Miller b. 1813 and Delilah House Miller. I have not found where the Singleton name comes from or if it is a relation. Wade and Sabra came out to Oregon in 1891, by that time you could take the train, but it was a long trip for a family. I am not sure why they came out, if they knew someone else who did. Sabra's brother Samuel Allison McSheery came out to Oregon, I am not sure which ones came first. Wade and Sabra's son Grayson Alison (G.A.) Miller moved his family back to Kentucky for a few years in the early 1900's, that is where my grandfather Marion was born in Caneyville. He talked fondly of Kentucky, although I am not sure if he ever went back as an adult like his sisters, he worked in the lumber mill industry for 40 years. I think G.A. Miller visited in the 1930's or 40s. He and his wife Clara lived for a time right on the coast in Port Orford, Oregon. In Lane County, it was a few hours from the coast back in those days, so they probably went over there. We take it for granted being near the coast, about 1 1/2 hr away, my sister lived in Louisville for 10 years and felt landlocked, no beach not much seafood except frozen. I never went back to visit her then I wish I had so I could have gone to Grayson Co. but I will someday. Gina Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
