This is the third installment on Otto Franklin Miller. Albeit rather short but with a message. As a recap Frank Miller was The first born in May of 1905 to James and Cordelia Miller, in April of 1926 in Woodville Oklahoma ( Old Woodville) . He was murdered at his Filling station Job by an irate police officer named Albert lary whom later served time in an Oklahoma Prison.
Something came to my attention about Mr. Frank .He was very fortunate throughout his short life to have a life long buddy. This young man whom we shall call mr. C was born roughly around same time as Frank was. Mr. C was of a prominent Grayson family. Mr. C and Frank attended the same school at Kentuckytown Texas. a now obsolete community with only a cemetery remaining.
Mr. C and frank were very close buddies, later enlisting in an Oklahoma C.M.T C camp at Fort Sill in 1920s. Mr. C was also involved in helping run the filling station of which Frank was employed upon his demise in 1926. Mr. C was also at trial for Frank's murder with Frank's family.
Mr. C would go on to marry shortly after Frank's death, he died in 1970s and was buried in a Fannin Co cemetery.
My message on this is frank was gifted with a friendship of a very rare nature, one that endured until his death. Friends like this don't come along very often. As Proverbs 18: 24 states "A man of many companions may come to ruin, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother"
I believe Mr. C was this kind of friend. Though Frank had a short life , there was one thing that could not be stolen and that was the gift of a lifetime friend whom remembered Frank until his end in 1970s. In its own way a small defiance against the man whom cut Frank's life short.
Below are two pictures, first is frank and friends at a carnival in Oklahoma, Mr. C is one of the young men closer to Frank ,whom is tallest in middle with undercut hairstyle. Other picture is a school photo, Frank is back row , far left on outside in dark jacket. Mr. C is sitting in second row.
