All 10 Adult Children of Monroe Millers Home for Christmas, 1916

“Children Gather for Family Reunion,” from the Hickory Daily Record, Dec. 27, 1916

Nine splendid young men and one equally fine woman, all the children of Mr. and Mrs. Monroe Miller, who lives four miles northeast of Hickory, sat down at one table Christmas day at the first reunion of this family in eight years, and old and young were happy. Six grandchildren and Rev. and Mrs. J.E. Barb completed the group.

Mr. Miller reared nine sons and one daughter and from the time the children were born until one by one they began leaving the parental roof, the services of a physician were not called for. They are fine specimens physically, and what is more to the delight of the mother and father, all the children ae worthy of their good parents.

The children present were Raymond Miller, Youngstown, Ohio; Asley Miller, Detroit, Mich.; James Miller, Marion, and B.W., Edward, Cleveland, Arthur Vernon and Marion and Mrs. frank Ekard. Four of the children are married.
