Big Reception for John Adam Miller
John H. Miller of Penbrook, gave a dinner on Thanksgiving Day, in honor of his father, John Adam Miller, who recently returned from Texas after having been mourned for dead for forty-nine years, and the occasion was in the shape of an all-day family reunion. A few weeks ago his sons and daughters planned to fix Thanksgiving Day as an appropriate time to celebrate his return after years spent on ranches and farms in Texas and New Mexico.
Among those present at the big dinner and reunion were B. F. Clark of Academia, who was a comrade of Mr. Miller in the regular army, and also Daniel Paul, of Constantine, Michigan, who was a comrade at the outbreak of the Civil War when Mr. Miller served with a volunteer company. Both old soldiers made fitting addresses and James Miller told of the achievements of this special branch of the Miller family and traced it back for several generations.
In the party were William H. McFadden and Mrs. McFadden, who discovered her father’s whereabouts through records of the War Department….
Lykens Standard, 2 December 1910.
