Collection Number: A&M 0885
Materials collected by Mrs. Lewis H. Miller of Beckley, West Virginia, chiefly contain newspaper clippings (1896, 1940) related to her husband, Judge Lewis H. Miller, and seventeenth- and eighteenth-century documents related to land sales in West Virginia. Lewis H. Miller of Ripley, West Virginia, was a circuit judge in the state and a candidate in the Republican primary for governor of West Virginia in 1940. Clippings from the Beckley, West Virginia, newspaper in 1940 document Miller's campaign by announcing his candidacy and quoting from his speeches. One article also provides information about Miller's education, family, and hobbies. Other documents include two 1787 land deeds for property in Monongalia and Harrison counties as well as an 1887 statement of judgment in a saw log dispute and an 1896 map of land in Jackson County, West Virginia.
