Letter:
Garrison, Iowa
Sept 19, 1955
Dear Cousin: Received your letter. You should be more cautious in springing surprised on aged people like us. Maybe you will be just as shocked to get an answer so soon.I'm afraid there are just too many Millers to make it an easy task to trace them back to Revolutionary days. I did make some effort to do so while we were at Drake and I found the Brock records at Historical Library in D.M. [Des Moines] through the war files without too much trouble. Our main difficulty there was that the records at Richmond, VA were burned during the War of 1861-65 and that destroyed many of the southern enlistments and pension files, etc. Both the Brocks and Carriers were on the Confederate side, of course.
I asked Grandpa Miller [G.W. Miller], at the time I was living in D.M. to give me all the information he had about his people and of the Helphreys too. It wasn't very much and of course with the exception of the Family Bible which Aunt Georgia has, I'm not sure that there are any records which the D.A.R. would accept. If I knew when these Halsteads, Abels or Millers might have lived in Benton Co. or whether they owned farms, I might be able to look into it at the courthouse here in Vinton. There is a Miller Funeral Home in Vinton and we have become acquainted with him. I asked him last week where his father came from and he said Ohio. We couldn't find any connection with our family, he said he grew up near Rhodes, Iowa (Marshall Co.) I think. So far as I know none of grandpa Miller's brothers (or his father either) were in the Army. I think we could probably trace the Helphreys thru Uncle Pete and Uncle Draels records back to Civil War, then probably to Rev. War times. I had a letter last week from Marjorie Brock Yost. She wants some help on the Miller-Helphrey side of the family tree. She already has her DAR membership on the Brocks--Papa was a S.A.R. and Bonnie Brock Coy is also a member in Cedar R. chapter. Marjorie sent me a paper to fill out for her but I sent it back and told her that Aunt Georgia has an old report card in it from Grandpa Miller's teacher back in New York state. Grandpa told me he was born at Mayfield Corners, New York, later the name was changed to Gloversville--Fulton Co. He didn't give me the names of his brothers and sisters so I only remember those who lived at Metz--[one line missing] the Metz cemetery at the top of the hill near Grandpa's or Aunt Bertha's graves, which is marked "Margery Miller". I don't remember who she was. Maybe one of Uncle John's family. If you are up there you might look at it and get the dates on the stone. It must have been there years and years ago as it is of the type of Uncle Stephen's stone.
I haven't heard anything from the Jesup people. Maybe after seeing the rest of you, they decide they hadn't better look any further.
We are having a nice rain here. It began about dark last night and is still drizzling. We washed this morn, but I hung the clothes upstairs to dry. We have been very busy since Sept 1st so many meetings and all the church activities are beginning after vacation. We have a supper for the youth fellowship at the church at 5:30 this eve. then go to Mt. Auburn (10 miles NE) for a meeting with the group there at 7 pm.
Galens were here Labor Day. He isn't very well, he has asthma. Verla had an operation in June and isn't able to [teach?] this July. I hope you are both well and had a good vacation trip. We went to Lake Okabojiâ⬦â⬦Signed: Wilma [this is probably Wilma Brock Parsons. She had a son named Galen, she is the daughter of Clara A. Miller and William H. Brock.
