PAUL ALBERT MILLER....
Paul was raised on the family farm on Ashworth Road (Northwest quarter of Ashworth and State Farm Roads.)
in West Des Moines (Valley Junction), Polk County, Iowa.
After studying engineering at Iowa State University, Paul had a number of engineering projects, including one of doing the layout of the J.I. Case Plant in Davenport, Iowa.
Prior to that project, he was in Civil Service during World War II at the Naval Air Station in Corpus Christi, Texas. After the Case assignment, he lived in Davenport, but worked as an installation engineer for a bread machinery manufacturer in Illinois, across the river. He traveled the country doing installation projects including installation of slicers and equipment on U.S. Navy vessels.
It was there he met and married Selma Denker Schlotfeldt, mother of Fay Ernest Schlotfeldt who had been widowed for a number of years.
Paul left his manufacturing company job for health reasons not long after Robert was born. He and Selma and Robert left Davenport to take over the family farm from a brother and Fay, who had been employed with Northwestern Bell while still in high school, followed after discovering that he would then have to pay tuition in his final year at Davenport High because his parents no longer resided in the District.
Paul's father, Paul Phillip, also lived there for a period of time, as did Selma's sister, Mae Denker while Robert was young.
Fay was off to Iowa State Teacher's college after graduation in 1949 and that was interupted by the Korean War when Fay was gone in the Air Force for 4 years. During that time, Paul's illness worsened and unfortunately he was hospitalized just before Fay's discharge and the family had to sell the farm. Paul
later died in the hospital and Selma established her
beauty shop at 420 11th Street in West Des Moines, where
she raised Robert, saw him off to college only to see him return with the same illness as his father. Selma and Robert both died in the Care Center in West Dest Moines. She had wished to be able to outlive him, and did by a year. She was loved by the nursing staff for her care for Robert, even having their permission to share the same room until he died in 1989.
They were a happy family until the ravages of Huntington's changed all of their lives. May they rest in Peace.
