Vina remembers as a child going with her mother and sister Fannie to a neighbor where they had yarn dyed to be woven into blankets. She also remembers when the first coal oil lamp was brought home. It was a luxury but also something to be afraid of. It was placed on a shelf on the wall and the small children were forbidden to go near it. At the age of 10 she moved with the family to Scio, Oregon . She went to school in Scio with her sister, Aneliza where Dr. Prill's house now stands. Vina was an excellent seamstress and worked as a dressmaker from her home and in other people's shops. She was so good with a needle that the finish work was often left for her to do. Many times it was necessary to sew all night to finish a wedding gown. She had a job in Albany as a dressmaker when her father passed away. She returned to live with her mother in Scio. Her husband Randall had never been married and had lived in Scio with his widowed mother.
After their marriage they were to live in Scio, Monmouth and Albany. They had no children. (History of the Samuel T. Miller Clan)
