The Reverend Columbus (Lum or CC) Miller located with his wife Hattie on the Clinch River near the old Miller bridge.
In the 1920 Census, Lum (age 31)and Hattie (age 22) are living/renting a home in Bennetts Fork, Bell County KY.
along with sons Earl and Edward. Also living with them and working in the mines are Lum's brothers. Pascal age 26 and Wannie age 22. Pascal and Wannie are miners and Lum is listed as a laborer in the coal mine industry.
According to the 1930 Census, Columbus was still living in Claiborne County, TN:
Columbus Miller 40
Hattie Miller 33
Earl Miller 15
Edward Miller 11
Lilly Miller 9
Hubert Miller 6
Ray Miller 4
Lum is listed even then as a "Laborer" "Coalminer".
Lum moved to Middlesboro, KY, worked the mines for 10 years and then moved to Monroe, MI.
While still in Middlesboro his sister Hallie's daughter Mossie at seventeen would leave home and went to her uncle Lum Miller in Middlesboro, KY. He got her a job as a telephone operator.
Lum would be one of many of the Miller families from the area that would move to Monroe over the years.
His headstone reads "Rev CC Miller".
I do not know the history of when Lum became a Reverend.
I knew him as "Uncle Lum". He was my Gr-Uncle. His mother died in 1905 when he was about 15 and he and his siblings were scattered about to area kin/families. A very nice family took him in. His real name was Christopher Columbus Miller.
He married my parents in the mid 50s at his home.
Lum, Hattie and three of their sons, Edward, Earl and Hubert are buried very near one another in Woodland Cemetery.
From the Sharp family: I can remember Uncle Lum coming to our house from Monroe. He would stay several weeks and helped in revivals at different churches.
From Elery Barnes, the Miller family: The last place they lived was in the house at LaPlaisance and Kentucky Ave. he and Hattie were so much fun to be around.
He was a great guy; and funny. I loved it when he and Hattie used to visit us in Kentucky.
