Men’s Bible Study - Greenbrier Baptist Church - 1924Photo Charles Greg Eary - 4-29-2020
This is a picture of the men’s bible class at the Greenbrier Baptist Church in Alderson. It displays 100 men. Among those men in the picture are my great grandfather, Floyd Eary and my grandfather Frank J Eary. At the bottom of the picture is written J. H. A Miller’s Men’s Bible Class, dated June 1924. I proudly display it in my home, and vividly remember seeing it early in my life.Charles”Greg” Eary

Information Update From Bill Michelinie III was delighted to see the photo of Dr. Miller's bible class. James Hiram Alexander Miller was my great grandfather who built the house we own on North Monroe Street and I have never seen this photo before! How exciting. I have always heard that his bible class was very popular but this photo looks like it must be half of the men in town! :-) James was the town dentist for years and his office was on the second floor of the bank building on the Monroe side. For a time, his son Max W. was a dentist on the second floor of what is now called the Renaissance Building on the Greenbrier side.I have been trying to research James' ancestry back in Scotland but hit a dead end when his ancestor entered the country. I know the family lived in Rattray and we went to the Scottish hall of records in Edinburgh but struck out because James Millar (as it was originally spelled) is a very common name. My wife Lenore and I plan to visit Rattray in May next year when we return to Scotland. I hope to discover the address before we go!Thank you for sharing this photo on the website. My mother (JHA's granddaughter) was absolutely delighted to see it. She wanted to comment on it but there is no place to do it at the bottom of the web page and she doesn't use e-mail. (She is 91 God bless her and has never had any interest in computers).
