Bio: Pioneer Families of Missouri -Samuel Miller was a carpenter by trade. He settled in St. Louis Co. in 1817, where he married POLLY A. HATTON. In 1819 he settled in Callaway Co., and built the jail at Elizabeth in 1821.
His children were William P. , James E. ., Albert H., Wesley G., Benjamin M. (a physician), John O., Elizabeth A., Angeline, Cordelia, Catharine and Frances. Wesley G. Miller is a distinguished Methodist minister, and Professor of Theology in Central College at Fayette, MO. Samuel Miller died in 1858, and his remains were taken up in 1875 and reinterred in the cemetery at Miller's church. They were found to be in a perfectly sound state when the grave was opened. Mrs. Miller is still living, in her 88th year. She resides with her youngest son, John O. on the old homestead, and takes great pleasure in recounting the perils and adventures of pioneer life in MO. She was the first member of the Methodist church in Callaway co., and the first class of that denomination was organized in her little cabin, 16 x 18 feet in size, in 1819. Preaching was held there regularly for 30 years, and her house was often filled night and day, with people who had come to head the gospel preached. They frequently came as far as twenty and thirty miles, and she would borrow beds from her neighbors for them to sleep upon. The men would bring their guns and dogs with them. The guns were stacked in one corner of the house, while the dogs remained outside and fought. On one occasion, the dogs treed a catamount during services, which were immediately closet so that all could go and witness the fight. The first election in Callaway Co., was held under a large oak tree near Mrs. Miller's house, and she had to cook dinner for the "big men", as she called them, while the rest sat around trees and ate gingerbread that they had brought with them.
