I don't know how much help I can be but I will tell you what I do know. His second marriage, after his first wife died was to my wife's great aunt, Sarah Miller Popp on Sept 19, 1940. Sarah's first husband, Arthur Popp, had passed away in 1931 in Durham, Kansas. Gottlieb was a Church of God (Anderson, IN) minister, and when he and Sarah were married he was manager of the Christian Unity Press in York, NE. In 1960 they retired and moved back to Marion, SD. Hope that helps. Let me know if I can help further. Glen A Frederick

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Harold Alfred MILLER which was taken at the S. Trad Studio in Centerville, South Dakota. The photograph appears to have been taken in early 1900 with Harold noted as 7 months old at the time the photograph was taken. I'm hoping to locate someone from his family so that this wonderful old photograph can be returned to his family. If you are a member of this family, or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley

If you go into the South Dakota Genealogy page you should find what is available. Some of the earlier newspapers were lost but they should have that year, I would think.
