In the mid-1930's Alex Miller met a high school girl from Crawford named Mildred Saxton. But it would be a couple of years later, after he returned from working in Michgan, that they would marry. It was on July 1, 1936; they were married in the Methodist parsonage by Reverend C. Curtis Norlin. It was Alex's 25th birthday, and they were married nearly 50 years before he died in April of 1985.
Alex and Mildred's children have often visited the Whitney area, usually to visit the cemetery and occasionally to see if the old parsonage is still standing. It was on one of those visits about 15 years ago that Charlene Miller took this photograph.
Charlene and brother Bruce were in Dawes County within the past few months (winter 2020), and report that the old parsonage structure is, indeed, still standing! Thanks to Charlene for sharing this photograph!
