Charles Thomas Miller born 6 March 1870 in the Prospect Community of Franklin Co. GA , son of Richard L. and Lucy [Kesler] Miller married Susie Caroline Purcell born 12 January 1882.

Charles Thomas was known far and wide as "Uncle Bud" Miller. Uncle Bud and Susie Caroline Miller had nine children. Their first home was on the Banks Academy Road about 1 mile east of Kesler Covered Bridge. It was in this house that their first children, through Clarence were born. Their second home was on a hill overlooking Leatherwood Creek at Prospect where just across the road from the house was Uncle Bud's Store.

Uncle Bud Miller was the Sunday School Superintendent at Prospect Methodist Church from the time he was 18 years old until he moved to Carnesville about 1926 when his house burned to the ground. He continued as a prominent and active official and member of the church in Carnesville serving on the board of Stewards and was a Trustee until the time of his death.

He was Justice of the Peace in Flintsville District, which was the voting District that included Prospect Community. Uncle Bud was a true peacemaker, he not only performed the marriage ceremony for the young folks who came to him for that reason but he counseled with them when they later had marital problems.

After moving to Carnesville in 1926 he was elected and served as the Co. Tax Commissioner for about twenty years. When he operated the store in Prospect, on the road to Toccoa he was filled with love, compassion, sympathy and real concern for his neighbors and therefore allowed them credit from "Planting time to Gathering time".

Uncle Bud was a man of high morals, a true Christian, loved and respected by all who knew him. He was courteous, generous and a man of CLEAN speech. He lived the Golden rule every way he possibly could. He became a Mason early in life, being raised to the third degree 12 June, 1919, and attended the Lodge at Cannon's store 4 miles south of Currahee Mountain. He was Treasurer of the Cannon Lodge #446 in 1921, and he later transferred his membership by demit to Carnesville Masonic lodge #186, which was chartered in 1855.
