Biography

His father, Mathew MILLER, had a Mr. Felix GRUNDY employed in a lawsuit. A son was born to M. MILLER on the night the suit was decided favorably, so he named his son Felix Grundy MILLER.

Notice of Death of Felix Grundy MILLER, taken from the "Murfreesboro News", April 1884. "The many friends of Felix Grundy MILLER will regret to hear of his death, which occurred at his residence near Christiana, on Tuesday last of pneumonia. He lacked only one day of being seventy four years of age. He was a member of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church, and was one of the noblest men of our country, and a good citizen in every relation of life. The funeral sermon was preached by the Rev. Dr. McMurray, after which the remains were carried to the grave by six colored men (this was at the request of the colored men) who had formerly been his slaves and who now acted as his pallbearers. He was buried with Masonic honors."
