Bessie Boyd / T. B. Miller

Adair Co; KY to Hunt Co; TX


 

T. B. Miller, M.D., of Wolfe City, Hunt county,  was born in Adair county, Kentucky, in 1852.  His people were originally from Virginia.  They were early settlers of Kentucky, and in Adair county, that State, the subject's father, Gaither Miller, was born , reared and died. He was something of a public functionary there at an early day, and was a deservedly popular and useful citizen; he died in 1873, in the thirty-second year of his age.  Dr. Miller's mother, Dorothy (Owens) Miller, was a daughter of Jerry Owens, of Boyle county, Kentucky. She was a native of that county and died in 1875, the mother of the following children: John S., Owens, Juliet, Otho, Joseph, Samuel, Thomas B. (the subject), Anna, Timoleon, Dicey and Harry.  Five of these, besides the subject are now citizens of Texas. These are Owens, Joseph, Samuel, Otho and Harry.

T. B. Miller was educated in the common schools of his native county, and followed various pursuits until selecting medicine as his profession.  He took medical lectures at Louisville, Kentucky, attending the Medical University of Louisville one term, and graduating from the Kentucky School of Medicine in 1881. He located immediately in Hunt county, Texas where he began the practice, and where he has since been, having built up a large lucrative practice.  March 20, 1884, the doctor married Bessie Boyd,  daughter of Amos Boyd,  originally from North Carolina,  but who moved to Texas in 1881,  and died in Hunt county in 1884.   Mrs. Miller is a native of North Carolina.
