I've been to the Miller/Manly Cemetery 2 times. The cemetery is located on the Manly Homestead and you will find the name, of the cemetery both ways. It is difficult to get in on this government property, and they are NOT taking care of the 6 or 7 cemeteries located within the confines. We were able to get in on Memorial Day (I believe that they open it one weekend before Memorial Day and one weekend after.) That is the only window that I am aware of.

We visited the Manly/Miller, Carmack, Memorial Chapel (the largest of all,) and Walnut Hill. The first time there, we had an armed escort who rushed us at each stop. The second time we were able to take these notes, but still rushed thru out. It is a shame that someone locally has not catalogued these 6 or 7 cemeteries for they are not being taken care of, and will be lost, if not already, for all in the future.

Three feet grass and weeds (so if any stones have fallen, we couldn't see them.) You are not to take any cameras, or any pads, pencils or drawings, but we did. The earliest stone read was 1811 and the latest was 1917. No Manly's found, so I'm sure that their stones have fallen over. Only 4 Millers found. Here is what I have:

There were 33 other stones in the cemetery that we simply could not read. As mentioned, there could be many stones in the grass cover.
