Recently, Mary Margaret Henry (Margy), daughter of T.F. (Ted) Miller II, great granddaughter of T.F. Miller, granddaughter of Evans Miller, stopped by for a visit and tour of the museum. 

Evans Miller, came to Clarkdale to manage the Clarkdale branch store in 1913. Ted arrived in Clarkdale at age nine and graduated from Clarkdale High School in 1922.   Margy talks about her recollection of family history, particularly of her father, Theodore F. Miller, Jr., who grew up in Clarkdale between 1913 and 1922.  Her great grandfather, T. F. Miller, was owner of mercantile stores in early Jerome and Clarkdale. 

Margy and Ruth participated in the 125th anniversary parade in Jerome.

 
Nathan Porter, Collections Director, recorded an oral history with Margy and her daughter Ruth.   Watch and listen here

After the interview, Drake Meinke took Margy and Ruth on a tour of his Main Street building which housed the TF Miller store starting in 1915.  They reported that this was the highlight of their trip!
