			MILLER'S GROVE Post Office
 
	 Abraham B. Miller, a veteran of the Civil War, serving with the 
1lth Indiana Cavalry, came to Woodson County in 1868. Miller and his wife, 
Elizabeth, homesteaded a farm of 80 acres along Cherry Creek in the west 
half of the northeast quarter of section 34-24-16 in Everett township.
 
	 The homestead was called Miller's Grove, and on 29 June 1869, 
Abraham Miller was appointed postmaster of the postoffice he established 
in his home and was given the name of Miller's Grove. Here the mail was 
handled for settlers along that part of Cherry Creek until the office was 
discontinued on 02 June 1873, when the Millers decided to leave Woodson 
County. The papers were transferred to Everett.
