Hello MOANDREWERS:
My paternal ancestors were pioneers in Andrew County (and in Missouri as
well).
As long as we are sharing obituaries, an obituary for my great, great
grandfather, Rev. Fleming Mitchell Miller, can be found at the following
website maintained by the Cumberland Presbyterian Church.

"Mitch" Miller's father, William A. Miller, was an early settler in
Andrew
County. Prior to that, he lived in Cooper and then Pettis County, having
arrived in Missouri from Kentucky with his parents, Samuel Miller and
Margaret
Sloan Miller, and six brothers in about 1820.
William, was also a member of the Missouri Legislature. Family lore has
it
that he was preparing a run for Congress in 1847, when he died young at
age
42.
Mitch's mother, Agness Chelly Mitchell, came to Missouri at a very early
date. Her father, Captain Thomas Mitchell, came to Missouri in 1814,
when it was
a territory, and for safety the family lived for three years in Coles'
Fort
(which was in what is now Howard County, MO, near Columbia). Her four
brothers were said to have been the first white men to operate a ferry
across the
Osage river. Daniel Boone lived for some time in that fort.
Agness Miller, Rev. Fleming Mitchell Miller, his wife, Nancy Ellen
McDonald
Miller, and a number of other Millers from this family are buried in the
Fairview Cumberland Presbyterian cemetery in Andrew County (near the
Buchanan
County border north of St. Joe). Their gravestones can be viewed on
MOANDREW's
fabulous and unequaled cemetery photo pages. I believe nearly all the
Millers
in this cemetery (perhaps all of them, in fact) are my ancestors.
