ALLEN BURR MILLER, D.D.:  Allen Burr Miller was born in LaRue County, 
Ky., July 9, 1834.  At the age of six he was taken by his parents to 
Ohio County, where he was raised on a farm with very few educational 
advantages.  After he arrived at manhood he attended Bethel College 
for a time.  He professed faith at a Methodist Meeting when about 
thirteen years of age and was baptized several years later into the 
fellowship of Green River Church, by Elder Alfred Taylor.  He was 
licensed to preach before he went to college and was ordained to the 
ministry in 1856.  After serving Mt. Zion and Cool Spring Churches in 
Ohio County he was called to the church at Hickman, Ky. in 1857.  
Here he labored with good success for two years and then went to 
Trenton, Tenn. where he ministered one year and returned to his 
native state in answer to a call from the church at Bardstown.  He 
accomplished a good work there for two years.  In February, 1862, he 
accepted the care of the First Baptist Church in Owensboro.  This was 
during the very hectic days of the Civil War.  He remained until 
about May, 1864, when he accepted a call to the First Church in 
Memphis, Tenn.  He next moved to Paducah, Ky., where he served two 
years.  He next served the churches at Quincy, Illinois, and back 
again to Kentucky at the church in Versailles.  From there he went to 
Evansville, Ind., where he labored for five years.  In 1882 he 
accepted the care of the First Church in Little Rock, Arkansas.  At 
this point we lose him.  On January 4, 1866, he was married to Miss 
Ann Clark of LaGrange, Ky.
	Besides his pastoral labors, Dr. Miller devoted much of his time 
to the work of an evangelist, in which capacity he was very successful, 
having baptized about 2,500 persons.  He was a popular preacher, 
brilliant rather than profound, a man of untiring energy, and was full 
of zeal in his body calling.
	He preached the annual sermon before the Daviess County 
Association in 1863 his subject being, "Zion in Distress." No doubt the 
trying times of the period called for such a subject.  This sermon was 
published in full in the "Green River Baptist."
