The Millers Rest In Peace : Descendants Of John George Miller (Johann Georg Müller)

John George Miller (Johann Georg Meuller) of Germany (Prussia) and Metta Wagener of Germany (Hannover), immigrated to the United States in the mid-nineteenth century, a time when many Germans were leaving their homeland for a better life. They met after they came to America and were married in Ritchietown (South Wheeling), West Virginia, in 1856. Many of their descendants have found Greenwood Cemetery, Wheeling, West Virginia, their last resting place. In 1914, John George Miller, the patriarch of this strong German family, became the first member of our Miller family to be buried at Greenwood Cemetery. Other Ohio Valley area cemeteries chosen by our Miller families were Mount Calvary Cemetery, Red Men Cemetery, Holly Memorial Gardens, Riverview Cemetery, and Greenwood (Rose Hill) Cemetery. In an effort to preserve a piece of our Miller family history in one collection, this book presents obituaries and information about John George Miller and the first three generations of his descendants. Regardless of where they lived, most came home" to be buried in Wheeling area cemeteries. A brief description of each cemetery is provided in this book."--Provided by publisher.
