Can you identify the men in this picture?
Garnette Bane from Greenville, SC, relative of the Rev. William Rice
Miller (1856 - 1926), son of Dr. Lorenzo and Mrs. Martha Lois Bird
Miller, has recently finished her faith-based historical novel about the
Rev. Will Rice Miller and Emma Morehead Miller and their family who
lived in the Mechanicsburg area of Bland County. She sent the Bland
County Historical Society a picture of her relative witnessing to two
other men. We know that the man with the Bible is Rev Miller. The 1910
and 1920 U. S. Census lists him as a minister in Mechanicsburg. Garnette
would like to know if anyone can identify the other two men? Please send
us an email at

Many thanks to Nancy Bodmer in Maryland for identifying another of the
men in the mystery picture:
The man in the center is Alexander Cregger, Nancy Bodmer's husband's
Great, Great Grandfather. He was born in 1846 and died 1913 and is
buried near Nebo. He married Margaret Victoria Wetzel who was born in
1849 in Scott Co. They had 7 children, including son Lewis Henley
Cregger, Nancy Bodmer's husband's Great Grandfather.
Here's another picture of Mr. Cregger:
