EVERETTE BELL MILLER.

The Millers of Monroe county were early settlers of West Virginia. George W. 
Miller, father of the subject of this sketch, and his father, Thomas Miller, 
were members of that distinguished family and old-time honored citizens of 
Monroe county, both of them blacksmiths. George W. Miller served at his trade 
in the Confederate army during the war between the States. His father-in-law, 
Samuel M&orkle, a resident of Virginia before the war, also served in the 
Confederate service through the war.
Everette Bell Miller, county assessor, son of George W. and Elizabeth 
(McCorkle) Miller, was born in Greenbrier county, May 8, 1864. His father 
moved to Greenbrier, in Blue Sulphur district, in 1861, and here young 
Everette was reared on a farm and attended school during the winter months, 
applying himself in an agricultural way in the meantime. In 1885 he married 
Miss Sabina Taylor, and to this union were born seven children, as follow:  
Helena Bell, James Guy, Samuel Roy, Besssie May, Nina Lewis, Robert and 
George.
Mr. Miller has been connected as an official of the county many years and his 
record needs no comment. In 1896 he was elected assessor of Greenbrier and 
served twelve years. Then be was elected deputy assessor under W. A. Mastin, 
and again as deputy under James IMcClung, serving four years under each, or 
for twenty years in that office. In 1916 he was elected assessor again, time 
running to 1920.
Mr. Miller owns and operates a farm near Alderson and with his family 
worships with the Baptists, as a member of that church. His farm was 
purchased in 1907.
