Silent City 2017 - J.D. & Ellen Zornes portray Millers 2017-10-04 - Columbia Cemetery, 315 Campbellsville Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Mike Watson, Adair County Historian. J.D. Zornes portrayed Dr. Samuel Miller (1865-1936) and his his wife, Ellen Zornes, portrayed Dr. Miller's wife, Susan Patterson Miller (1866-1936) in the 2017 Silent City Cemetery Tour, the 11th production of the annual event. About the Millers, by Ellen & J.D. Zornes Dr. Samuel Preston (aka Tink) Miller (1864-1936) was a well-known and well-liked doctor in the Glens Fork and Columbia areas. He was born in Crocus and bought property in Glens Fork as a young man. He attended medical school in Louisville and during his 48 year medical career served as County Physician and County Health Officer. He practiced in Adair County for 48 years. "He was married to Susan (Susie) Patteson Miller (1866-1936) the eldest child of Capt. Oliver Bomar (O.B.) Patteson and Mary Belle (Mollie) Russell Patteson. They made their home in the Montpellier area where Capt. Patteson obtained land holdings there and in Columbia. Capt. Patteson commanded the Kentucky 13 th Infantry, Company B, during the Civil War where many Adair County men served in his company. His first wife died while he was away fighting the war in Tennessee and his second wife bore their seven children. He received a pension from the government due to contracting rheumatism from pneumonia while fighting and was unable to farm upon his return home. Susie’s youngest brother, Joseph Patteson, co-founded what is now Stotts, Phelps, McQueary Funeral Home and another brother, William B. Patteson, served as Sheriff of Adair County. "Dr. S. P. Miller had the Miller home, located on the corner of Jamestown Street and Miller Avenue, built on the nine acres he acquired from Susie’s father, Capt. O. B. Patteson. Dr. Miller and his family sold their property in Glens Fork and moved to the Trabue-Russell House while their home was being built. A dress owned by one of Susie's sisters is currently on display at the Trabue House. "The Dr. S. P. Millers had six children all of whom survived and went on to be prominent adults including Dr. Oliver Preston (Ol) Miller who was head of the Veteran’s Administration in Kentucky and Mr. James Patteson (J. P.) Miller who was a well-known Columbia merchant. Their daughter, Julia Miller Horton, married Dr. John B. Horton who served as president of Lindsey Wilson College in its early years. Another daughter, Mary Miller Welch, helped form the Jane Lampton Adair County Chapter of the Daughters of the Revolution. Their daughter Susan Russell Miller was never married because her parents broke the engagement and left her a bitter person that people said explained her sometimes outrageous behavior. She was the last Miller of the original family to live in the Miller house. After her death, Don and Shirley Miller lived in the house. It is now the David Eubank home." - Written by Ellen & J.D.
