    3. I have the following in my notes regarding my great grandparents: Henry Hamilton Miller and Elvira Ann Thorn Miller: >From History of Wirt Co (written by N.W. Thomas) Buffalo Methodist Church in Wirt County was located on a ridge between the head of Thorn's Run and Falling Timber Run. It was first organized in 1878. Church had a class called "Falling Timber Methodist Class" They met in a log house which was also used for school. Among the first members were H.H. Miller and Elvira A his wife. The new church (Methodist Protestant) was built on 1/2 acre deeded to trustees HH Miller et. al. 2/25/1886. HH Miller and wife are both buried at cemetery at rear of church and stone was in good condition as of 4/23/1992 when we visited church and cemetery. 1900 Henry Hamilton Miller bought 83 acres at the head of Falling Timber near Buffalo Church in Wirt Co at $5 per acre. In 1921 Daughter Mary Emma Miller and husband Wm Dountain Dotson sold those 83 acres to Oscar Hupp for $10 per acre. Surface only. ( No mineral rights). Henry Hamilton Miller was one of the earliest certified teachers in Wirt Co, WV Betty Dotson Renick http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/r/e/n/Betty-D-Renick/ That's strange; half my ancestors are WOMEN!
