Miller Family Plot UPDATE 09/2007 Directions: southeast on Antelope Road to milepost 16 then 1/10th of a mile, Left. 12255 Antelope Rd. Residents were Gordon and Dorothy Park. Entry is by a dirt road; right fork goes to the residence, left to the grave site and homestead foundations. The distance is about 3/4 mile from gate, on a knoll. The graves are after a second gate, about 30 yards downslope towards Antelope Rd. Three sets of double graves with headstones on three. Upslope graves are Abraham Miller, Jr., and Elizabeth Turnidge Miller with no headstones, but a small metal marker "Abraham Miller". Other possible burials are George J. Miller, and Thomas Miller, both sons of Abraham. One is definitely that of Philip Christian Miller, son of Elizabeth Crowley and Abraham Miller, Jr., who died a month after Abraham. I have probates on both Abraham and Philip Christian Miller. Elizabeth came to Oregon from Missouri in c. 1843, and Abraham came from Mercer County, Illinois in 1847 in the Miller/Coon wagon train to Linn County.
