"Aaron K. Miller, son of John C. and Gertrude Kreider Miller, was born at the old Miller homestead one mile southwest of the Oak Grove church, April 16, 1835. In his later years he and his wife, Susan, lived the first place west of the Oakland church, in the brick house back from the road on the south side. He was elected to the ministry and later ordained to the Eldership and when the 1881 divide came, identified himself with the Old German Baptist brethren and gave the ground for the Oak Grove church just south of his buildings in the woods near the railroad. He died February 9, 1899, after a few hours of suffering. He was the presiding Elder at Oak Grove and after his passing the church was left without an overseer or minister. He is buried in the Oakland Cemetery."
