ts not everyday one has the privilege to stand at the graveside of a Murder victim and hear their story first hand from a family member. . A family member (Great Grand Niece to Frank) told me the story of her uncles murder as we stood beside his grave. 
     Here is what they told me "Otto Franklin Miller, or, Frank, was the first born child of, James and Delia Miller. He attended school in, Kentucky Town, Cannon and Whitewright, Texas. When the family moved to, Platter, Oklahoma in November of 1924, Frank went with them. Upon arriving, he joined the Boy Scouts and went to, Ft. Sill.
The following year, he opened up a gas station in Woodville, Oklahoma and set up his "house" in the backroom. On the night of, April 7, 1926, he was confronted by a man named, Albert E. Lary. Mr. Lary had gone to inquire about his daughter because Frank was the last person who saw her after church. Frank responded that he didn't know where she was. When Mr. Lary became angry, Frank told him to leave. When he didn't, Frank began to hurl rocks at him. Mr. Lary then pulled out his gun, killing Frank instantly. Mr. Lary spent roughly 10 years in jail before being released.
Frank is buried at the Cannon Cemetery in, Van Alstyne, Texas next to his parents."
