The Miller family came to Lake City, Kansas, from Linn County, the fall of 1911.
  there were seven children living at home. We later moved to Aetna, then in 1917 we
  moved to the Union Chapel Community.
     I (Emory) ame the youngest son of William and Mary (Danner) Miller. I was born
  in Canada. I met Joy Williams, oldest of seven children of Otice and Lina (Ball)
  Williams, at Union Chapel.
     The Chapel was built on an acre of land in the southeast corner of the Willims
  place, given to the community for that purpose. There were many young folds in the
  area and we enjoyed dances, literary, picnics, Sunday School, and dinners. It was
  about 12 miles southwest of Medicine Lodge.
     It was at Union Chapel hwere we began our Christian Life, as did our four
  children. I joined the Methodist Church and Joy joined the Christian Church in
  Medicine Lodge.
     When Joy and I met, we were in the 5th grade at Elwood School. Joy went three
  years at Medicine Lodge High School. The Williams family moved to Hugoton and Joy
  completed high school there. She taught school two years. We were married in
  Hugoton, Kansas May 18, 1927, and moved back to Medicine Lodge.
     We raised the four children: Otice Louis, Emory Jene, Lina Beth (Ash) Hickey,
  and Joy Corine Shinkle. When Corine was in second grade, Joy returned to teaching
  in the rural schools, then taught kindergarten 16 years in Medicine Lodge. She
  loved every pupil, they were her pride and joy. She retired in 1971 and now helps
  the Union Chapel ladies' project - the quiet - 'My Bible Book,' for children.
     In 1947 we moved into town, and our children all graduated from MLHS. In 1968
  we had an antique auction, then took a vacation covering 6,000 miles. We attended
  the Miller reunion at Eureka, Illinois, then to Chicago, Detroit, Michigan - to
  Niagra Falls, and Buffalo, New York. We visited our nephew at Rochester, Minn., 
  saw Erie Canal, Finger Lakes, many vineyards and the Eastman Estates.
     Around the northeast of the Great Lakes, we took the Thousand Island boatride
  on the St. Lawrence River, and entered Canada. We saw Medicine Hat, Glacier Park,
  crossed the Rockies and visited another nephew at Wenatchee, Washington. On the
  Columbia River we watched the salmon on the fish ladder. There was lots of fruit,
  we even canned some, then home. We've enjoyed several travels since this one.
     We have had 18 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren. After all these travels
  Medicine Lodge is still HOME - No place like it!
