He is my g-g-grandfather. He married Elizabeth "Lizzie" Byers in 1865, right after his discharge from the war. His nickname was "Uncle Curl" and I have a photo of him somewhere. For those of you who don't know about the family move to Milan Twp. IN, it occurred abt 1846, per Amherst's obituary in the Ft. Wayne Journal Gazette on 31 May 1938. He is buried at Bowers Cemetery, Ft. Wayne, Allen Co., IN, along with Anson and many other Millers. I am in the process of sorting them all out, but do have quite a bit of info I am happy to share. I just took photos of Bowers tombstones and am working with local historians, church records keepers and funeral home directors to see what else I can dig up on the family. I, myself am stuck with Amherst, SR at this point, but do know he was born in CT and so were his parents. Amherst served in the Civil war and his obit was front page news because he had missed his first Memorial Day parade. Hope this helps and I'd love to hear from anyone researching this branch of the Millers, too!
