HENRY MILLER AND ROSA WALKER WEREMARRIED TWICE IN THE SAME DAY. THEY
WALKED ABOUT THREE MILES OR MORE AND CROSSED THE RIDGE IN FRONT OF
ELLIS FORD'S HOUSE TO GET TO THE PREACHERS HOUSE, L.S. RHOTON. BEFORE
THE WEDDING, WHEN THE PREACHER ASKED ROSA WHAT HER NAMEWAS, SHE
SAYED THAT HER NAME WAS ROSA LEE WALKER. THE PREACHER UNDERSTOOD HER
TO SAY ROSA LEE WALLEN. DURING THE CERIMONY THE PREACHER USED THE
NAMEOF ROSE LEE WALLEN. AFTER THE WEDDING THE PREACHER'S WIFE
POINTED OUT HER CORRECT NAME. REALIZING THAT HE HAD MISUNDERSTOOD HER
AND USED THE WRONG NAMEDURING THE WEDDING, HE DECLARED THE WEDDING
INVALID! THE COUPLE WAS THEN REMARRIED USING THE CORRECT NAMES, HENRY
HARMON MILLER AND ROSA LEE WALKER.

THEY MOVED IN A HOUSE JUST DOWN THE CREEK ABOUT A HUNDRED YARDS AND
LIVED THERE A WHILE AND RAISED SOME OF THE KIDS. THEN THEY BOUGHT A
HOUSE FROM WILLIAM PATTON FORD, THE ONE NEAR ADA. THE HOUSE WAS MUCH
LESS THAN AIR TIGHT, YOU COULD LOOK OUT THE CRACKS TO SEE WHO WAS
COMING. ONE OF THE FLOOR BOARDS WAS LOOSE IN THE HOUSE ANDTHE KIDS
WOULD PULL IT UP AND LOOK DOWN. A WHITE RAT WOULD COME UP THRU THE
HOLE AND ALLOW THEM TO PET HIM, HE WAS VERY TAME. THERE WAS NO OUT
HOUSETO USE FOR A BATHROOM. THEY WENT UP THE HILL TO THE GULLEY TO
USE THE BATHROOM. THEN THEY LIVED IN COY AND KATE KAYLOR'S HOUSE
WHILE COY WAS RUNNING THEMILL AT SPEAR'S FERRY. WHEN COY DECIDED TO
MOVE BACK IN HIS HOUSE, HENRY AND ROSA BUILT A NEW HOUSE WHERE THE OLD
ONE USED TO BE. HENRY & ROSA LIVED INCOY KAYLORS HOUSE (IN FRONT OF
THE KAYLORS CHAPEL) FOR ABOUT A YEAR, UNTIL THE KAYLORS WANTED TO MOVE
BACK INTO THE HOUSE. COY KAYLOR HAD MOVED DOWN TO SPEERS FERRY TO RUN
THE MILL, I GUESS THEY DECIDED TO SHUT DOWN THE MILL AT THAT TIME.
HENRY HELPED ISAAC ROBERTS AND ADA'S HOUSE THAT SUMMER, 1943. HENRY
CHARGED IKE $100 FOR HELPING HIM BUILD HIS HOUSE. WHEN THEY GOT
THROUGH BUILDING IKE'S HOUSE THEY JUST WENT RIGHT INTO WORKING ON HIS
OWN NEW HOUSE. NERGE BLOOMER HELPED HENRY BUILD HIS NEW HOUSE.
