Surnames: Miller, Plum, Beardsley Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/4RB.2ACE/3223 Message Board Post: Looking for info on the Miller family of Brookton (aka Brooktondale after 1926) in the Caroline township of Tompkins County, NY. In particular I'm researching Jerome T. "Romie" Miller (b. 12/1861 - d. 1929; married Fannie V. Plum, b. 1868 d. 1924) son of John K. Miller (b. 1836 - d. 1905, married Rebecca Beardsley b. 1830 - d. 1915). Both father and son worked for the railroad that ran through Brookton. I have a photograph of one of them standing in front of the depot but I don't know if it's John or Romie. Romie's son, Howard V. Miller (b. 1894 - d. 12/1948, married Rhea F. Miller, b. 1894 - d. 1966), was a General Superintendent of the Church of the Nazarene, but I've found no family members after him. Romie's daughter Mattie (b. 1867) appears in census records until 1880. I'm interested in finding any stories, anecdotes, photos, etc. from this family's involvement with the railroad, Rhea Miller's career as a gospel songwriter, and if their descendants are still in the area. Thanks!
