Sandy, I should make a hard fast rule that I only answer request from people who give me a mailing address. My reason is that if I make a search I usually find more information than I have time to hunt and peck type. I made an exception in your case because I was pretty sure that I knew who Alpha MIller was. In my family files I foungd the pension file of Civil War Veteran, Jacob MIller. From the information in the file I had prepared four pages of information. A pamphlet containing those four pages is on my desk waiting for you to e-mail me a mailing address or ship me a rather large carrier pigeon. Bond, Kentucky in 1920 was a large sawmill town with a railroad, lots of jobs, restaurants, barber shops, even a bank. Near by was a large boarding school, Annville Institute where I attended the 6 and 7th grade in the 1930`s, just after the mill, the largest east of the Mississippi River, had moved away. >From where we lived seven miles away you could hear the mill whistle blow at five o`clock, quitting time. People used that to set their clocks. So we all keptBond Mill whistle time. When I was three years old my mother missed me at supper time. I was found at the head of the hollow behind our barn headed in the direction of that whistle.
