John Elvis Miller, the son of a Confederate veteran, had a distinguished career in the law, sandwiched around a political career that took him to the U.S. Senate in one of the most startling Arkansas elections of the twentieth century. He was a prosecuting attorney, a congressman, and a senator, resigning the last position in 1941 when President Franklin Roosevelt appointed him U.S. judge for the Western District of Arkansas.

John E. Miller was born on May 15, 1888, in Stoddard County, Missouri, the son of John A. and Mary Harper Miller. As a child, he helped his parents and seven siblings raise cotton and corn on their Missouri bootheel farm. When he finished the ninth grade, he took an exam and began to teach elementary school while he attended high school. He taught school in southeastern Oklahoma and then returned to Missouri to teach and to be principal of a three-room school. In the summer of 1909, he sat in on trials while working as a deputy revenue commissioner. Then, with his savings from teaching, he quit three weeks into the fall term of school and went to Indiana to study law at Valparaiso University and the University of Kentucky at Lexington, where he received a bachelor of law degree in 1912. He decided to move to Arkansas to practice law, and on a train ride, he met a Batesville (Independence County) lawyer who suggested that he go to Searcy (White County). He began practicing law that year in Searcy as a partner of J. N. Rachel at a salary of fifty dollars a month. Miller became the Searcy city attorney in 1913 and then opened his own law practice in 1918. In October 1914, he married Ethel Lucile Lindsey of Lee County, and they had two children, Mary Louise and John E. Miller Jr. Ethel Miller died in April 1955, and in December 1956, he married Ethel Skinner of Fort Smith (Sebastian County).

He was a delegate to the ConstitutionalConvention of 1917–18, which drafted a new state constitution. Voters defeated the c

1.The White Horse Inn Today

There has been an Inn on this site since a building was erected in the C16, almost 500 years ago. Although the building is now clad in red brick, probably added in the C19, the original Tudor building can still be seen inside.   Part of the Tudor timber framed structure with some very fine double roll-mouldings on the main cross-beams can be seen on the ceiling in the Lounge/Cocktail Bar.

The building was Listed as a Grade II structure in 1955.  According to the Listing, there is evidence to the timber frame in the attics that the original building did not have a chimney, but simply a hole in the roof known as a “smoke bay” to let the smoke out!  The chimney was probably inserted in the C16.

Over the years, the interior of the building has undergone many transformations with the latest refurbishment having been carried out just a few years ago by the current owners.

The earliest record of The White Horse Inn either in the Archival Records or the newspapers is an advertisement from 1727 in The Suffolk Mercury which was advertising the sale of the pub, and all its beer!  There are many similar “For Sale” and “To Let” advertisements from newspapers, some of which have now gone out of print including the Ipswich Journal, The Bury and Norwich Post, The Bury and Norfolk Post and Suffolk Herald and The Newmarket Journal. The Bury Free Press and East Anglian Daily Times date from 1782 to currently.

Until 1925, when a new law was introduced, the Inn was bought and sold as a Copyhold property.  Only Manorial lands could be held freehold, a tradition dating back to feudal times.  All other smaller landholdings within Manors were held under the Copyhold tenure, a form of leasehold, with the rent being paid to The Lord of the Manor, which in this case would have been the Lord of the Manor of Shakerland Hall. During the C19 many Copyholds became virtual freeholds such as 999-year leases but in 1925 all Copyhold land was abolished and th

~see “Clearing up Confusion Over Names: John & Jack”~

Who would believe that one of our ancestors from the 18 century is a household name among many of the Amish and Mennonite of the United States. According to Chapter One in John Sharp’s new book, Gathering at the Hearth: Stories Mennonites Tell, “One of the often-told tales among the Amish is the story of the Indian attack on immigrant Jacob Hochstetler’s family in 1757” (15). Our real-life title character, “Indian John” Miller, or “Hannes,” short for the German Johannes, was also a victim of that incident, what came to be called “The Hochstetler Massacre.” For a more “scholarly” history of the life and times of Indian John, his family, and community, read Gordon W. Miller’s account in the January 2014 Mennonite Family History, reprinted with permission. Other historical fiction versions have become available, including Ervin R. Stutzman’s fascinating trilogy that began with Jacob’s Choice in 2014.

We’ll retell the account in a minute, but by way of contextualizing, the Hochstetlers and Millers were part of the first Old Order and Conservative Amish-Menonnites to arrive in eastern Pennsylvania from Germany as early as 1720. The Northkill settlement, just off present day Old US Rt. 22 in Berks County, is regarded as “the first organized Amish settlement in America” and was thriving by 1740. The some 200 families who resided there at its height are remembered today by a Pennsylvania Historical Commission marker. Howerver, virtually all of these anabaptist families began to consider “greener pastures” shortly after the Fort Stanwix Treaty (1784) with the Indians officially opened Western Pennsylvania to white settlement.
