The Miller - Bender Ensemble

The Miller - Bender Ensemble was instigated by Ulysses Miller, son of Dan J. Miller. Ulysses taught Ernest Miller and Walter Bender the art of playing the violin. Rhoda and Lucretia Bender were the keepers of the music and accompanists on the piano. All four men we known to have played the violin, but sometimes Ulysses played the horn. This ensemble played mainly for their own enjoyment but occasionally performed on request for neighboring towns.
