Miller Family

Edited by Ann Chrissos

Thomas and Carrie Miller lived approximately ¾ mile west of Gumbo on Old Olive Street Road on the Fletcher Place.  They had six children:  Olan, Howard, Thelma, Floyd, John and Marie.  All of the children attended Bonhomme School and Marie graduated from that school.  The Miller family shopped at Essen’s Mercantile, which later became Glaser’s Store.  They attended Antioch Baptist Church on Wild Horse Creek Road, but Marie claimed that she sometimes attended Sunday school at St. Thomas United Church of Christ.  After living for four or five years in Chesterfield, the Millers moved into St. Louis.  Marie Miller married William Walter Seibert.
