Notes
a. Note:   WABER-MILLER UNION BY MARY BRENDER Johannes and Barbara Cunigundi Waber, and Nicholas and Analise Miller,progenitors of families represented in this reunion today. The Miller branch probably antedated the Wabers as pioneers of Michigan.Elizabeth Brender, the oldest daughter of Nicholas Miller with herhusband Peter A Brender located on the farm in Trowbridge, in December of1853. She was, so to say, the scout of the Miller family. The Nicholas Miller family originated in Germany. A family of ninechildren: John; Elizabeht; Henry; Katrina; Maria; Mary; Analise (AnnaElisa); Elizabeth Katrina (Aunt Lizzie); and Louis (Ludwig). Four of the elder children, as they grew to years ofself-responsibility, in wanderlust, sought America previous to theparents arrival. The parents, Analise and Nicholas, had by industry andeconomy, accumulated a comfortable home in Germany. Wishing to follow thechildren in America, the home in Germany was sold. As is usual in thesale of property, payment of home needed time for collection. The motherAnalise with the remaining younger children set out for America, to beginhomemaking in the new land. The father Nicholas remained to collect themoney value of the old home sold in Germany. Ocean voyage was slow in those days and while Nicholas Miller wasenvoyage to the US, suddenly Analise died and rests in Palmyra, NY. Empthome, motherless children. In the mean time, the daughter Elizabeth hadmarried and begun her home in Michigan. Thus it followed that thebereaved husband and father was invited to Michigan. At their new home inTrowbridge Township, the younger Miller children found a sort of homingplace until making homes for themselves. Grandfather Nicholas, fond of hunting often found grateful reward in thesport- also in those early days of pioneer wilderness sustenance. Whatare now open productive fields between Trowbridge and Kendall was thenforest and swamp. Grandfather Miller one day in his rambles was lost. Helit upon a new clearing. It was the new home beginning of GrandfatherJohannes Waber and Barbara Cunigunde Waber. He remained with themovernight. Wabers, a sturdy family of competent sons and daughters, andheart delight; Germans he could understand and visit with. He often latermade happy pilgrimages thither. Later friendships among the younger scions resulted in marriages andhomemaking. Both families were religious. Grandfather Miller would oftendonate a last hard earned dollar for church interests. Grandfather and Grandmother Waber would drive, slow team, rough roads,from their home in Pine Grove to Allegan, a distance of 12 or 13 miles,regularly to a German church service they could understand. May the descendents of these worthy pioneer ancestors remember andemulate, and ever “Dwell under the shadow of the Almighty” and seek theBlessing of God. -MaryBrender PS Mary Brender (1853-1942) was the oldest of seven children, thedaughter of Peter and Elizabetha Miller Brender. She attended high schoolin Allegan, and later Kalamazoo College. She taught school for severalyears until she was needed at home. She never married but was an outgoingfriend to all the family members and neighbors. As Mary Brender said theWaber-Miller young people had a close association through the church andother local activities. Thus it follows that George Waber married MaryMiller; Thomas Waber married Anna Eliza Miller; and Anna Kunigundas���second marriage was to John Miller. This resulted in many double cousinsso that many of you here today are both Miller and Waber.
