12957 Cecil Howard Miracle seems to have changed his birth date at some point to make himself four years younger. His birth record and World War II draft registration show his birth date as 7 Dec 1923. This conformed to his ages in the 1930 and 1940 censuses. But his 1964 marriage record and all subsequent records show him to be four years younger, with birth date 7 Dec 1927. His military records, social security records and headstone all reflec the 1927 birth date. MIRACLE, Cecil Howard (I31234)

12976 Chapman J. Stuart served as Doddridge County prosecutor from 1852 to 1861. An opponent of secession, he sat as a member of the First Wheeling Convention of 1861, was a member of the Constitutional Convention of 1862, and in 1863 was elected judge of the Circuit Court and was on the bench for ten years, until 1873. His public service to the state continued after leaving the bench, and in 1874-75 and again in 1878-79 he represented Doddridge County in the Legislature. During the Civil War he did some valuable work as a Lieutenant Colonel of the 14th West Virginia Infantry in recruiting Union soldiers, raising Company A of that regiment.

He has also been credited with naming the state of West Virginia. A June 1913 article which appeared in the Wheeling Intelligencer credits him for suggesting the name West Virginia as opposed to the other proposed names of "New Virginia" and "Allegheny."

"HON. CHAPMAN J. STUART - son of Edward and Margaret Stuart, was born January 8, 1820, in that part if Bath county, Virginia, now included in Highland. His first wife was Elizabeth E., daughter of William and Anna [Unkles] Litle. She was born in Bedford county, Pennsylvania, September 20, 1823, and died October 27 1855. Of this marriage one daughter survives, Anna R., born November 1, 1849, now the wife of Dr. M. C. Daugherty, of Grafton, Taylor county, West Virginia. One daughter and two sons, Isabella, William and Arthur, died young. In Highland county, Virginia, Chapman J. Stuart and Mary A. Stuart were married, January 25, 1858. She was a daughter of Charles and Therese Stuart, and was born in Bath county, Virginia, May 18, 1837. The children of this marriage were five: W. Scott, born May 27, 1861, now a cadet at the West Virginia University; Agnes, May 27, 1866; Elizabeth, October 2, 1869; Therese, January 18, 1872; Douglas, December 17, 1874. The subject of this sketch held the office of prosecuting attorney for Doddridge county by successive re-elections, from 1852 until 1861, when he resigned. He was elected from the district composed of Doddridge and Tyler counties to the convention that met in Richmond in 1861 [in February], and there opposed the ordinance of secession. When it had been passed he returned to his constituents and opposed its adoption. He was a member of the Wheeling convention of 1861, where the action taken in Richmond was repudiated. In the spring of 1861 he was elected to the Virginia Senate from the counties of Harrison, Doddridge, Ritchie, and Wood, and met with the restored government at Wheeling until the formation of the State of West Virginia. In 1862 he was a member of the constitutional convention that framed the constitution of West Virginia; was chairman of the committee on boundaries of that body and when submitted to the people its adoption was advocated by him over a large portion of the State. In 1863 he was elected judge for the 4th Judicial Circuit of West Virginia, composed of Wetzel, Tyler, Doddridge, Ritchie, Gilmer and Pleasants counties, and at the expiration of his term of office he was re-elected, serving until, under the new Constitution, the office ceased to be, January 1, 1873. He represented Doddridge county in the State legislature in the session of 1874-5, and again in 1878-9. In the first-named session he was one of the managers of impeachment and trial before the Senate of John S. Burdett and E. A. Bennett, State treasurer and auditor, and prosecuted these cases through the entire proceedings. He was in the service of the Federal government for nine months of the civil war, holding commission of lieutenant-colonel of the 14th West Virginia Infantry, and taking an active part in recuiting volunteers. He raised Company A, of the 14th regiment. Judge Stuart made his home in Doddridge county in 1846 and his residence and postoffice address are West Union, Doddridge county, West Virginia. 31"

12982 Charles John Edgar Miller (1890-1951) was born March 17, 1890.

Charles married Iva Ethel "Ivy" Nestor (Nov. 5, 1891-1963) -- also known as "Ona E. Nestor" -- daughter of General McClellan and Martha Anna (Bolyard) Nestor.

They bore one known daughter, Nolla Burl Duvall.

Charles was a coal miner. Circa 1930-1949, the family made its residence in Flemington.

On the dark and tragic day of Jan. 22, 1949, Charles shot and killed his 35-year-old married daughter Nolla. As a 12-year-old grandson watched, Charles fired his gun twice at her through a window at the family home. A physician recorded that she had been "shot by her father Charles John Edgar Miller and died within a few hours."

Charles was found guilty of the crime of second degree murder. He was sentenced to a term of 18 years' imprisonment in the West Virginia Penitentiary in Moundsville, Marshall County. He served his time there for only two years until death.

Suffering from melanoma, he died in prison of a hemorrhage on March 29, 1951, at the age of 60. His remains were buried in the Toms Run Cemetery, also known as White Gate Cemetery, the prison burying ground in Moundsville..

Ivy outlived her spouse by a dozen years. Having been burdened with hardening of the arteries, Ivy suffered bleeding in the brain and passed away at the age of 71 in Fairmont on Sept. 4, 1963. Her remains were laid to rest in the Odd Fellows Cemetery in Flemington. Granddaughter Ethel Glaspell was the informant for the West Virginia death certificate.
