DISOWNED
(hand written date: 9-18-1889)
Henry MILLER of Gilroy at War With His Son.
A FORBIDDEN MARRIAGE
The Turbulent Course of True Love--A Card From an Irate Parent. The Couple
Unconcerned.
According to yesterday's Examiner Henry MILLER, of the firm of MILLER & LUX,
at Gilroy, is quite upset through his son, Henry, marrying without asking the
consent of Mr. MILLER Sr. About a year ago young Henry began paying
considerable attention to Miss Maud OLDHAM, a very pretty young lady. Neither
the father or mother objected to their son's choice of company. About a month
ago the MILLER family went to their summer residence at Gilroy. Young Henry
was already there to welcome his parents. Every evening during his stay at
Gilroy the young man was driven out by the family coachman, who kept very
quiet about the daily drives and brought his young master home without any
more noise than was absolutely necessary. The father had business with Henry
one evening, but the son did not put in an appearance; so the coachman was
sent to Miss OLDHAM'S residence and instructed to tell him to come home
immediately, and then he confessed that he was married.
Mr. MILLER, Sr., got his dander up, the coachman stepped down and out, and
the son was disowned, the following being published in the Madera Mercury:
I hereby notify the public generally that my son, Henry MILLER, Jr., has no
longer any connection with my business in any way, either personal or
mercantile, either in my name or that of MILLER & LUX. I will not be
responsible for him in any way, or recognize his acts in any manner
whatsoever, from this date. HENRY MILLER, SR.
On being interviewed, Mr. MILLER, Sr., said: "I do not know where he is or
where he intends to live. Nor do I care. "It is true that I will have nothing
further to do with him. I made known to him my objections to his marrying,
and he willfully disobeyed me, and, therefore, I am done with him. "It looks
hard for a father to do as I have done, yet I did it with a full knowledge of
the facts, and I have not yet found any reason to change my decision. He has
had his own way. Now let him make the best of it."
Young Mr. MILLER and his bride are still living at Gilroy, and as far as can
be ascertained are not at all bothered about the stern father's decree.
