MILLER FAMILY PLOT
Located on the homesite of Doctor Edwin James. The homesite is on the brow of the hill 1 block southeast near the power lines of an old rock querry. Doctor James' wife Clarissa and infant son have a stone in the Rock Springs Cemetery 3.4 mile west of this site. Leslie Wagner remembers as a child 60 years ago a basement with rock foundation and a cistern full of water covered by an iron plate. And he also recalled seeing stones leaning against the foundation, but none were visible as of September 1979. The old burial site is on the northeast corner of Walter Miller's land.
