Lizzie A Davis was born to William J and Eliza (Morgan) Davis, who had immigrated to America from Merthyr Tydfil, South Wales in 1870. William (1839-1903) was a coal miner, while Eliza (1840-1918) was the daughter of Hugh Morgan (1803-1869), furnace manager at the Pennydarren Iron Works in Merthyr Tydfil and later a coal dealer.
Lizzie was a hardworking person all her life. At the time of her March, 1901 marriage to Thomas I Miller, she was working at a paper box factory. Later, she took care of the books for the Bethany Baptist Church and was always busy with baking, laundry and other chores. When her sons would wake up in the morning, she'd already have bread baking in the coal stove. Her sons remarked that the only long trip she ever got to take was by car in 1933, to see one of her sons' college graduation in Alabama. Lizzie had a strong soprano voice and sang in the church choir. She once won a gold watch for her voice. She died in 1943, twenty-five years before her husband Tom Miller.
