18700008029Fort Edward New York. Fair. 1870. On offer is an absolutely fascinating scrapbook that belonged to Jahu DeWitt Miller. Dated 1876 it was put together when Miller was 19 and working as a lecturer and teacher at the Fort Edward Institute in upstate New York. The book measures 7 inches by 5 and 3/4 inches. The binding on the book is broken and the pages are loose. However they are intact and contain a veritable goldmine of notes jotting etc. There are an estimated 100 pages and of these and estimated 80% are complete. Miller began his studies at age 14 at the Fort Edward Institute - a collegiate or seminary as they were known in those days. After graduating he began to teach there. He also acted as Librarian for the Seminary and was on record as a voracious reader. At the same time he began to preach at various Methodist churches in the area. He was attracted to journalism and wrote extensively. He also began a book collection that grew to a very significant size. He lectured widely across the United States for many years. In 1901 he donated his extensive rare book collection to National Park Seminary located at the time on the edge of Washington DC. Over the years NPS has changed hands several times until 1942 when it was expropriated by the US Army as a convalescent home for wounded soldiers. Today it is part of the Walter Reed Medical Center complex. Miller died of a heart attack in Boise ID in 1911. The scrapbook is chock full of notes letter cards and jottings. On many the ink has faded. Notes are stuck in willy-nilly: "Artman looks as tho he were an old bummer See his nose" ". Miller - Butler has prepared an article which she intends to deliver this morning the same going very strongly against you." On May 6th 1873 he published a printed statement of defense challenging unnamed critics of statement and articles he has written. On Institute letterhead he has received a letter addressed to himself requesting a loan of $300 from a MF Chichester. On Dec 6th 1872 he received a letter from the Office of the College Courant: "Dear Doctor - I draw to you this line as a matter of friendship. Chatfield is just on the point of failure and will probably make an assignment next week. Concerning that you have a claim against him the sooner you get it into the lawyers hands the better. I send you the name of a good one EP Arvine Church Street opposite Post Office. The sheriff is dropping in every day making attachments which are being for. The future of the Courant is doubtful; but it will probably not die. Prof Barker of Yale talks of taking it in which case I shall probably retain my connection with it. Another though just occurred to me that perhaps you could get the account of your bill more readily by ordering some of Chatfields publications Sincerely Yours RW Keufshall. There are cards referring to The Senate Society possibly one of the many debating societies extant that to which he belonged. And so the scrapbook goes. It is a veritable goldmine for a historian or researcher exploring the life and experiences of this noted American literary figure. For a social historian it is a superb window into the life of someone who travelled extensively in the literary circles of his day.; Manuscript; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF 19TH CENTURY 1870S JAHU DEWITT MILLER FORT EDWARD INSTITUTE NATIONAL PARK SEMINARY NATIONAL PARK SERVICES UPSTATE NEW YORK JOHN CASSEDY VESTA CASSEDY DR.

18860001060COUR D'LENE IDAHO JOHANNESBURG SOUTH AFRICA. Very Good. 1886. On offer is a sensational archive of 18 multi page letters most handwritten and some typescript from Jim Miller to his mother and sister. Mr. Miller was a senior gold and silver miner who had worked in the western United States and in Africa mostly. The letters some on company letterhead date from 1886 to 1908 and each are several pages long and diary-like having great content. Mr. Miller is an intelligent and charismatic writer detailing his work and adventures and the archive is especially rich regarding his times working for one of the largest mining operations in Southern Africa during the Boer War. He has many many striking insights observations and comments regarding the conflict. Here are some snippets: "I started out in the summer on a prospecting trip got so far into the mountains that I didn't know where I was went all by guess had no idea where I would come out and cared less. Came out finally at Lewistown on the line of Washington and Idaho Territory after traveling about five hundred miles over the toughest part of the territory. Had no particular place to go so I came to the Cour D'lene to seek my fortune. The town of Wardner is less than a year old and has over one thousand inhabitants and still increasing. The biggest mines that have ever been found in Idaho are supposed to be those that worked in and around Wardner. This country is well represented by Black Hillers the town is named after one of them. It is safe to say that one half of the people in the Cour D'lene country are from the hills. The first one that I have met since I left the hills was in Wardner. This is about like all other mining camps the principle business places are saloons and gambling halls with a few stores. The English papers would lead one to believe that British and Boer have shook hands and agree to be friends that day will never come. When the Boer prisoner returns to his farm and finds only the remains of his house what was once his happy home it will take years and years if ever they do forget the useless destruction of their homes. He is going to invite you to spend the summer with them and they would take a trip through the national park. I would like to have you go and I will pay all expenses. It will be your first chance to visit the western country and maybe George might invite you to stop at Denver the only city in the west. Labour troubles both white and black strikes are the order of the day. If it was not for the Martial law one would not know that the country was in a state of war although there are plenty of columns moving about this district about all they seem to do is travel back and forth over the same road. It is reported that all the Boer leaders are being wined and dined by the British at various centers entertained at the expense of the British taxpayer. Rumor there is a possibility of a general surrender under the terms offered anxious for peace before the coronation. This is a much larger mine then I was on in the states. It is now the third largest gold producing mine in Africa provided we get sufficient native labour it will be the largest Gold Producing Mine in the world we employ 500 white men and 3000 native. When the reports of the San Francisco disaster reached Johannesburg there were many anxious people waiting telegrams from Fathers Mothers Sisters or Brothers who were living in or near the city. I know the part that was destroyed really better than I know Joliet. Have been in Spokane four weeks trying to settle up some business. The Superintendent at the mines is more despised than Cleveland and he is considered the meanest man in the United States. The Sup has to have a body guard. I intend to start for Lewiston Idaho tomorrow expect will have a time getting there as the streams are rising very fast. The snow has been very heavy in the mountains this winter. We started to unwater the mine pumping and hauling at the rate of one million gallans per 24 hours I am unable to say how long it will take. Had a breakdown in one of the shafts and it took weeks to repair it. During that time kept the mill running from one shaft. That was the most trying time I have ever had on a mine. Can buy a woman in this country for 200 dollars in Mexican money good able bodied one quite capable of doing a mans work. While waiting at Elk City for supplies I received work from Mr Clement offering me a good position in Africa. The principle topic of the day is the unsettled question of the importation of unskilled labour there is one thing certain they can not work this country without plenty of cheap unskilled labour. The mining industry of this country is only in its infancy. It is impossible to get sufficient native labour for the natives will not work. Not being able to get up to the mines has been a great disappointment. One consolation there are thousands of others in the same fix. The less the british people say about this war the more they will shine for they have nothing to be proud of. They have been the laughing stock of the world. It seems the British Army are like their women give them time and they will finish it. There have been several instances where the Boers have surrounded and captured parties of British while the officers were enjoying a dance. Of course that is not allowed to be made public. Those in the field know everything is lost and they will continue the guerilla war as long as they know their families are well provided for the by the British. Some of the preachers who are encouraging them were taken out and shot as they have done with some Boers who went on commando again after being released. Everyone outside of military are thoroughly sick and disgusted with the whole business." Included with the archive of letter is a small account book kept by his sister in the early 1900s and a cabinet card of Mr. Miller.

19290012280Mayfield Maine Hartstown Pennsylvania. Fair with no dust jacket. 1929. Softcover. On offer is a detailed draft of a book tracing the roots of the Ellis Family who resided in Mayfield Maine and Hartstown Pennsylvania. The draft was written by a son of Silence Ford Ellis of the Pennsylvania Ellis lineage. The author of this manuscript is Milo H. Miller 1863-1951. Miller was the author of two books each thoroughly researched genealogical treasures focused on the history of his family. He published A History and Genealogy of the Miller Family 1725-1933 tracing his fathers roots in 1933 and A History and Genealogy of the John Ellis Family 1797-1935 tracing his mothers roots in 1936. This 1929 manuscript is an early draft of the latter. To learn more about Milo Miller SEE BIO NOTES following this listing. The draft manuscript is largely handwritten in Millers tidy hand. He has divided the book into chapters based on the specific branch of the Ellis family he is following and included a section with images and relevant maps. He has written the title page Table of Contents and Preface in pencil. As well as a Preface about the importance of preserving family history and his labor of love and citing his reason for being the one to take on the task: The need of preserving the records during the lifetime of many of the older members of the family seemed imperative; and this seemed like an opportune time to compile such valuable genealogical data for upon such records is based much of the knowledge sought by historical and genealogical societies. The preface is extremely similar to the one Miller would ultimately publish in 1936. The following pages contain Millers typed pages intended for the book which he has glued into the larger pages of the draft as well as pencil-drawn family trees glued in newspaper articles relating to the people and places he is writing about and a hand drawn map of Mayfield Township featuring John Ellis farm. To give a sense of the content of the manuscript some of the titles of the pages in the draft follow: Explanation of the Map of John Ellis Farm Historical Sketch related to John Ellis and the farm Military Service of Benjamin an Enoch Ellis Sketch of Abner Ellis Military Service of Nathan F. Ellis The Death of John Ellis and Philander Coburn Ellis. There is a typed transcription of two Civil war letters between members of the Ellis family in 1863 and further pages discussing the Ellis family in the Civil War. Sadly Miller has cut rectangles out of some of the pages in order to extract photographs he had glued in. It appears he removed the photos in order to create photo pages for the book. The original photos and the cardboard on which they are pasted are included in this collection and the photos can also be seen in his 1936 book. Unfortunately cutting out the photos has impacted several of the family trees Miller drew with big chunks missing from the middle. It also appears Miller removed other content likely for use in the final book. Regardless of any imperfections of this draft manuscript it contains terrific insight into how a genealogist made connections and put his research into a condensed and readable format. It also provides awesome insight into familial connections in Pennsylvania and Maine. This would be a terrific addition to a collection or research arsenal of anyone interested in genealogy Pennsylvania Maine or the evolution of familial lineage. BIO NOTES ON MILO H. MILLER: Milo H. Miller was born to his brother to parents Samuel K. Miller 1822-1896 and Silence Ford Ellis 1828-1899 just outside of Hartstown PA. Milo and his brother Myron Manson Miller 1859-1949 were raised in Hartstown. Milo attended the Edinboro Normal School and Allegheny College. He worked as an education professional following graduation and his hobby was genealogy. He worked as a principal and head of schools in Girard and Knoxville and a principal in McKeesport. In 1894 Milo married Maude Moriarty 1870-1942. They had two children Florence Imogen Miller later Willison and Ellis Miller. Milo devoted much time to genealogical research. Milo retired from education in 1933. A few months after Maude died in September of 1942 Milo travelled to California to stay with Ellis and his family and eventually made his own home in California. The manuscript draft contains approximately 45 pages of content. The collection also includes seven photo boards with original photos cut and glued on to carefully measured boards containing labeled photos of 39 members of the Ellis family organized by family tree. The manuscript is paper bound and intact save for Millers cutouts and a few pages of content that have come unglued from the larger manuscript. There are bends and tears throughout as the book is not bound. Overall Fair. The photo boards are in VG condition. ; Manuscripts; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 45 pages; Signed by Author . paperback
19300010022Asheville North Carolina. Good. 1930-1931. Hardcover. On offer is a small journal detailing the last year in the life of Otis Alonzo Miller a professor and landscape painter and possibly a developer from the American South. This diary offers a detailed glimpse into the day-to-day happenings of Millers final year. The journal entries are brief often only two or three lines. Miller notes the weather and the principal things he was engaged in during the day. Many entries relate to his painting. "Lovely day. I kept to my room & touched up a couple of paintings." December 4 1931 "Snowed. President Hoover came to town to visit his son." March 8 1930 "Cool and clear. I painted steadily. Mr. White from Palmer Life store came to see my paintings about 5." April 29 1931 "Hot enough. I sat in my room and am 83 years old today. Went with Mabel to Lamberts at 3. Maude came to see me in time for dinner." July 14 1931 "Warm. I am sick. Played out. Bad night. Maude called at 3." October 7 1931 On the last page he makes a notation about paintings that he has given to the children in his family. Miller was born in Lawrenceburg Indiana on July 14 1848 and passed away at the age of 83 on December 19 1931 in Asheville North Carolina. In researching Miller we discovered a 1911 ad in the Roanoke VA Evening News publicizing the sale and exhibit of Millers "High Class Oil Paintings." He painted right up until his death. Our research also suggests that before moving to North Carolina Miller may have been a noted real estate developer in Knoxville TN responsible for what is known as O. A. Millers South Side Addition. In her book Skyland and Its Founder author Sandra Samz credits an Otis A. Miller for developing Skyland an area of southern Buncombe County in North Carolina. More research is needed before we can confirm that these O. A. Millers are one in the same. Measuring 5.75 inches by 3.75 inches this small journal contains 100 pages and is 100 percent complete. Written in an ordinary lined notebook the hard cover and binding are both in good condition. There is some age staining on the insides of the cover and on the pages which are in otherwise good condition. The handwriting is quite legible. This journal begins on October 3 1930 and continues until October 30 1931 about six weeks before Millers death. ; Manuscripts; 5.75" x 3.75"; 100 pages; Otis Alonzo Miller; Asheville NC; 20th Century American Painters; 20th century American art; American landscape painting; American oil painting; American art; 20th century art; art history; American art history; American South; Southern art; Southern landscape art; Old Buncombe County; Buncombe County; Biltmore; North Carolina; genealogy; Skyland; city planning; Knoxville city planning; history of Knoxville; Knoxville TN; Tennessee; Millers South Side Addition; history of North Carolina; history of Knoxville; history of Tennessee; land development; land development in the South; real estate development; AMERICANA; HANDWRITTEN; MANUSCRIPT; DOCUMENT; LETTER; AUTOGRAPH; WRITER; HAND WRITTEN; DOCUMENTS; SIGNED; LETTERS; MANUSCRIPTS; DIARY; DIARIES; JOURNALS; PERSONAL HISTORY; SOCIAL HISTORY; HISTORICAL; HOLOGRAPH; WRITERS; AUTOGRAPHS; PERSONAL; MEMOIR; MEMORIAL; ANTIQUITÉ CONTRAT; VÉLIN; DOCUMENT; MANUSCRIT; PAPIER ANTIKE; BRIEF; PERGAMENT; DOKUMENT; MANUSKRIPT; PAPIER OGGETTO D'ANTIQUARIATO; ATTO; VELINA; DOCUMENTO; MANOSCRITTO; CARTA ANTIGÜEDAD; HECHO; VITELA; DOCUMENTO; MANUSCRITO; PAPEL . hardcover

On offer is an original manuscript diary dated 1935 beginning August 17th when the author sets off on the SS American Legion with her husband Harold. Research suggests her husband's last name is Miller as she identifies 'Mother Miller' as one of the well wishers when they board the ship. Her birthday is celebrated the very next day aboard ship. She begins to study Portuguese in earnest. In Rio they stay at the 'Gloria'; she reports that everything is very queer and she is scared to death; the language is impossible; lovely descriptions of Rio de Janeiro; going to Coco Casino; the mountains.

0012279Hartstown Crawford County Pennsylvania West Fallowfield. Good with no dust jacket. Non-Book. On offer is an exciting collection of the thorough research conducted by a career educator published author and serious genealogist focusing on his hometown of Hartstown Crawford County Pennsylvania and the neighbouring West Fallowfield Township. The researcher/author is one Milo H. Miller 1863-1951. Miller was the author of two books each thoroughly researched genealogical treasures focused on the history of his family. He published A History and Genealogy of the Miller Family 1725-1933 tracing his fathers roots in 1933 and A History and Genealogy of the John Ellis Family 1797-1935 tracing his mothers roots in 1936. According to a letter from the Crawford Historical Society he was conducting this research with plans to write the History of Hartstown. To learn more about Milo Miller SEE BIO NOTES following this listing. This research archive contains dozens of letters received by Miller most handwritten or typed by the author some transcribed by hand or typewriter by Miller. The letters Miller received were in response to his requests for information on the histories of a number of prominent Crawford County families including the following: Martzall St. Clair Henry Rankin Lee and the family of Benjamin F. Ellis. The letters in this archive show that many were pleased to help Miller conduct this research into Hartstown and West Fallowfield. Their letters contain pages of detailed information about the families their lineage and connections within Crawford County. Some respondents refer Miller to others who may be able to help further. Miller made an effort to get data from the Crawford Historical Society but he hit a dead end. He also made an effort to acquire census records from the National Archives in Washington but they were under national emergency protocol due to the war and were unable to help. As well as research on families Miller was interested in the history of Hartstown physicians schools the postal service and more. The archive contains statistics and other data compiled typed and collated by Miller about the postal service and postmasters of Hartstown family doctors the history of the school districts in the region the Scotch-Irish in Western PA and the Freewill Baptist Church in Adamsville It seems Miller compiled data for at least four chapters if not more of his planned book on Hartstowns history. Some of his typed pages include glued-in photographs and it appears a book was taking form. Unfortunately Miller did not publish the book. We know his wife Maude died in September 1942 and his work on this book seemed to dwindle after that. We also know he started spending more months of the year in California after her death which may also relate to why he abandoned this project. This archive is an outstanding source of primary source documents for any Pennsylvania-related collector or researcher. The work Miller has done to acquire the information and organize the documentation in typed draft pages is useful for any budding researcher. It would be pretty remarkable if a modern-day researcher chose to use Millers work and finish the book on Hartstown and West Fallowfield that he began. BIO NOTES ON MILO H. MILLER: Milo H.

He shares updates from the community in Hartstown his large family his and Sarahs declining health his views on globally significant affairs such as impacts of the war on food supply and costs. Milo seems to be working on a new genealogy research project on the Martzall family Nov 17 1942 letter but we do not learn much about it. The letters are all long between two and seven pages all packed with content. Some excerpts attempt to give the flavour of this impressive archive: .We are to have a big wedding in the UP church here Saturday Dec 19 at 3PM. Rev Haglett the minister is getting married and the community are invented and we expect it will be a swell affair dont know yet whether I will go or not give Ellis family our love and best wishes Dec 17 1942. .we eat everything we can get our paws on.

We thought he would surely be exempt this time just paid my electric bill since dinner $3.68 some higher than last month The war situation dont look so good today but I supposed we cant win all the battles and it is going to take a long time to clean the Germans out and get them out and then the rats are going to be wiped up Feb 18 1943. .I get a big kick out of the letters you have sent me from our old school friends. It surely brings back our boyhood always Are you afraid of the Japs coming to the west coast I have noticed in the paper that they say they are coming over to pay California a visit May 21 1943. .it has been an awful wet spring very few of the farmers was able to get any oats in and lots of corn to plant yet grass is a whopper of a crop and wheat is generally good but tell me how we are supposed to stand the prices we have to pay for what we eat meat from 35 cents to 75 cents per # and everything else in proportion June 20 1943. .we was glad to hear of the arrival of an other Miller child being born to Ellis and wife. They will catch up with James. He is one ahead of them yet . Are you planning on coming East Sade and I get very hungry to see our own flesh and blood. Our boys are so far away and cant get gas to come home as often July 6 1943. I saw Shafer the other day and he says he has not been able to get the information about the old school property but is still working on it July 6 1943. Sade had a hemorrhage of the bowels I called Dr. Collins at Adamsville and he responded at once I phoned James and he phoned Mark James and Adelaid would be up before night Adelaid staid with us the week Margaret McElhaney Claras daughter died in Madville Hospital August 30. Gave birth to a daughter Monday morning at 3AM and she died at 7PM she was married about a year ago to Bob Simons and he has been in the service ever since she is buried here in Town Sept 12 1943. .Well Milo we do not have any of the Murray family left in Hartstown. The last one died Oct 19 our nearest neighbor Anna Palmanteer and do we miss her the second wife Abe has lost we are paying 42 cents for sliced bacon sugar 7 cents coffee from 28 to 40 cents apples 3# for 25 cents Nov 7 1943. There is only one letter from 1944 written from Myron to Milo in March following Myrons fall on the ice in Hartstown and only one letter from 1945. Excerpts: .the boys called Dr. Ghost of Greenville to see me he came 2 times a week and treated me. I am gaining slowly suppose you have made up your mind that my Dr is not an MD. He his an osteopath He has all the sore spots healed but one and that is in the right hip joint the boys got a telephone installed so they can keep in touch with us. They come up to see us quite often March 16 1944. I want to congratulate you on being Great Grandfather. I had been hoping for the same title for some time tell Bob and Betty to take good care of the young man and we hope his Father will get home to him soon The Dept of Forest and Waters are transferring all the national parks in Pennsylvania all the parks will be governed from Harrisburg. They claim that politics will play no part in the personnel Mark has 11 years now under civil service the longer he stays the larger his pension will be Nov 20 1945. As the years go on both Myron and Sarah begin declining in health and mobility which Myron mentions in each letter though he maintains a positive spirit. Excerpts: .Our postmaster had resigned - she is moving to San Francisco. Her husband and brother are there now working in a neon light plant We think Mrs. Patterson the owner of the store across the street will be appointed we are hoping so as we dont want the office taken any further away Jan 9 1946. .I suggest you hang on to Ellis until you get him to do just what you have planned. I want to spend a few hours on that old back porch smoking tobacco and hash over old times. You will probably have a hard time getting your renter out but perhaps you can buy him off April 1 1946. .We are having a strike now of the coal miners dont know how long it will last I had the good luck to get 27.00 coal this evening which last until May 1 we lost a good neighbor the 27 of March Abe Palmanteer left us and we are going to miss him a lot Mrs. Fran Dickey has been keeping house for him since Anna died April 1 1946. It has been a busy summer in Hartstown. We have had a lot of changes in our population several deaths and real estate also. The lease property was sold to two different parties. The east side which took the store and barn in was sold to a man by the name of Serfant and he has put in a red and white store so we have two stores now instead of one. The balance of the property was bought by a man who married Marie Ellis Thayers oldest daughter June by the name of Urey and they are living in the Case Homestead Oct 21 1946. Sarah has been crippled up all summer can hardly get around to do her work her feet brother all the time wish Mother and I could have our home with one of the boys to look after us we wont freeze or starve but we get enough to eat by paying the Democratic prices. We pay 1.00 a pound for butter hamburger steak 40 cents Beef steak 1.25 and for Bacon we have forgot what it looks like Oct 21 1946.

Myron goes into depth about everything he discusses - his familys personal and career changes his life at home with Sarah Hartstowns many citizens and their life events his views on the government and the war effort and his fears for the future.

19400002096LUFT. D. CAMP IV STALAG GERMANY. Good. 1940. On offer is a sensational original World War II manuscript relic being the 50 page handwritten diary and ephemera of American Airman Marvin J. Miller who documents his capture and time spent in Luft. D. Camp IV Stalag considered one of the most violent and brutal German prison camps noted for bayoneting prisoners beating and mistreating them as a matter of routine in IV-D and after the war there were hearings on this camp in a rough notebook he traded for cigarettes from a camp guard. While Marvin a devout Latter Day Saint didn't smoke he did play Pinochle and he always had a supply for barter. The diary starts out with their ill fated mission; Marvin was in the top turret of a B-24 flying with the 464th Bomb Group in the 776th Bomb Squadron and was shot down on 24 August 1944 flying in "COM-BATTY" which was stationed in Pantanella Italy and was lost to enemy action on a mission to Pardubice Czechoslovakia. Marvin was on the February 6th "Black March" also called the "Starvation March" a long and arduous forced march from the Stalag that took 86 days and nearly 600 miles until liberated on April 26th 1945. He was very ill with dysentery and even while in the sick detachment and he names the men who died from pneumonia etc. Even amidst the horror of captivity by the Germans Marvin and his chums still have times for humor recording a few pages from letters of fellow POWs that had black humor to them. He also wrote several fine poems and thoughts on flying German Flak War Love Peace and Food! He meticulously records the contents of the various Care Packages that the Red Cross delivered: super detailed content and record of daily life in the Stalag and Liberation. Flak smoke in the sky enemy fighters and interrogations. Marvin does a super job with some very stirring and poetic words as well as just plain telling it like it was. Historians and researchers will appreciate Marvin's contribution to history recording the names and addresses of many of his friends that he's made in camp and acquaintances. Listing them by Stalag Building Number and then by room. Many are local Utah internees. Included are four photos taken in Halle of wrecked German ME-109 STUKAS an 88 and a girl on a bicycle and a letter written to Marvin while in captivity!

19460012281Hartstown Pennsylvania. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1946. Non-Book. On offer are a series of three letters from a man moving to Virginia to work at George Washingtons National Monument and making a new home in Montross Virginia the very year it was incorporated by the Circuit Court of Westmoreland County. The letters are those of Samuel Marcus Mark Miller 1889-1949 to his uncle Milo H. Miller 1863-1951. Mark writes to his uncle of his elderly parents in Hartstown Pennsylvania his adult children and his wife Dora. However the main focus of his letters is on his job and his move to Montross Virginia. Mark was an employee of the National Parks Services and had been working in Bedford County PA since 1935. The National Parks Services transferred a large number of Pennsylvania land to the Department of Forests and Waters to the state as of January 31 1946. Marks employer offered him a job in Virginia and at 57-years-old he had no choice but to take it in order to finish his career with a comfortable pension. Marks first letter is dated January 1946. He tells his Uncle the news about his job and the changes in the Parks Services his plan to drive to Virginia to check it out and seek housing and his reluctance to move. By his second letter in September 1946 Mark and Dora are living in a short-term rental in the region while they seek long-term housing. He provides a pretty good description of the history of the region its connection to George Washington and how the National Monument site where he works was developed and funded. In his final letter written in December 1946 Mark shares that he finally found housing in Montross VA less than 12 miles from George Washingtons National Monument. He gives a very thorough description of Montross in 1946 his knowledge of the governments work and plans for the National Monument and his work and colleagues with the National Parks Services as a clerk at the monument. Some excerpts provide a sense of the content: " The Blue Knob Recreational Demonstration Area Union Twp - Bedford County Penna upon which I have been located since Mar 1935 is being transferred to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Dept of Forests and Water as of Jan 31 1946. The National Park Service have offered me a position of lesser rank and with less pay at George Washington Birthplace National Monument Westmoreland County Virginia Dora and I will drive down in about a week from now Jan 1946. .I can now retire at 65 with about a $90.00 per month pension. This with some part time work will provide for Dora and I Marilyn has only one year at Indiana after this year then she will be on her own if she gets a school and they dont seem to have any trouble locating their graduates from the State Teachers Colleges Jan 1946. .Quite lonesome here for Dora as we are back in the country and only one other family lives here which is quite close and helps some. This area is known as George Washingtons Birthplace National Monument and we have a post office here which is Washingtons Birthplace Va Sept 1946. Mother and Dad are about as good as one can expect. Dad is really in better shape than Mother.Ken is in Sharon with Westinghouse where he has been since 1937. They have a very nice home that they build and Mrs. Adsit is with them. She is in pretty bad shape Sept 1946. .Very old town but only incorporated within the last 6 mos. Population 250. 1 Courthouse. 2 Banks. 2 Drugstores. 2 Service stations. 2 garages. 2 grocery and meat stores. 2 barber shops 1 White and 1 Colored.Quite an industry in some sections. Many tomatoes raised each year and several canneries on this neck. The courthouse records contain an inventory of personal property of George Washingtons father . So you can see it is quite an old town Dec 1946. .Only two houses on the Monument or I would have been living there too. Expect Govt will build another house or two before long. The organization here is quite small. Supt - Clerk - Historical Aide - 2 laborers and a colored woman who cleans Dec 1946. Sadly Mark would die unexpectedly of a heart attack at age 60 not fulfilling his plan to work to 65 for the pension. Taken together these letters provide both an insightful look at the challenges of the working class in the immediate post-war era and a truly fascinating dive into the tiny but significant town of Montross Virginia in its very early days. BIO NOTES: Samuel Marcus Mark Miller 1889-1949. Born in Hartstown Pennsylvania to Myron Manson Miller 1859-1949 and Sarah Mitchell 1861-1949 Mark married Lucy Violet Adsit 1910-1923.
