| History: In 1845 F.B. Miller was one of five early
settlers in Burrell Township. We don't know if the cemetery was on his
land or not. Miller Cemetery is a large cemetery of about 2 acres with stones along the west end. It is fenced with many trees. However, there are many broken stones. Legend is that a man, for some unknown reason, broke these tombstones. |
