Locke Craig Miller June 7, 1899- October 18, 1944

Locke Craig Miller was born June 7, 1899 in Whittier, Swain County, North Carolina, The little fellow in a dress, which was the custom in those days, is pictured in the photo below, along with his sister Lois.

Locke is shown on the far right with his brothers Hubert (on the left) and Bill (standing beside Locke) the older boys belong to Locke and his wife Christine and the smaller ones belong to Bill and his wife Anna. Seated on the ground are Louise (brother Kenneth's wife) and to the left of Louise is Anna and hidden behind Louise is Christine. (Locke's wife) I guess that his brother Kenneth took this photo.

Locke married Christine Cathy May 19, 1923 in Greenville, South Carolina.

The young couple moved to Cleveland, Ohio, where Locke saved enough money to buy a garage which he named The Miller Tire Company.

Locke and Christine had three sons, Locke Jr., Julian "Jay" and David Rogers.

My Dad, was very distressed over Locke's early death. Locke died at the age of 45. He was the brother who was closest to my Dad in age. I believe Christine and the boys moved to California after Locke's death.
