Stories:
Story 1: Sold by Evelyn (Miller) & Kenneth Copher, Harold (d) & Wanda (d) Miller, William (d) & Mary Miller, Donald (d) & Phyllis Miller in 1980. 1996 - A Miller son lives on Price Road, Milford. He says the house was built in 1925. The Woolseys say they were told when they bought the house it was built in 1922 but they have no documentation to prove it. The Millers had 5 children. (We only know of four children.)Four Miller children graduated from Terrace Park High School: William 1934, Donald 1938, Harold 1944 & Evelyn 1947.Story 2: It was Phyllis Miller, married to Don Miller, who in 1962 opened the School House Restaurant in Camp Dennison.According to a Cincinnati Enquirer article, January 24, 2009, Phyllis was one of only three women to graduate from Ohio State University's architecture program in 1949. Beth Miller is a daughter and has continued the remodeling job her mother began on the 1949 house she and her husband bought in 1953. (Article in the Terrace Park Historical Society archives)
