Miller Family

Family Motto or Something

History

The Miller family is the quintessential faded small town royalty. They were the family which got the contract which began the mill which caused the town of Tamarack Falls to come into existence in the first place, but with the lumber industry lessened for ecological concerns, these days, the family is more known for hard work and their largely uncontested grasp on road maintenance contracts and hardware. They have more money than they need, thanks to investing well, but while the family isn't poor, it isn't rolling in dough, either. Children can get help going to community colleges, and there is enough that when machinery breaks down, it isn't a disaster to replace it.

Throughout their 'reign' the family has prided itself on good old fashioned values, conservative politics and, occasionally, downright stodgy attitudes. Change comes slowly, and is often a matter of metaphorically dragging a given member into this century kicking and screaming. Practical as they are, when a "new" idea becomes the norm, they will begrudgingly accept it, but no one would call them innovators.

While there are still disagreements in the older generations over whether their granddaughters should be allowed to wear trousers instead of skirts at Sunday services, no one can disagree about the family's firm loyalty to the land and everyone living in the Tam's high valley.

The family has many branches, and many Millers have left the area to make their fortunes in the larger world with varying degrees of success, but the core is here.

Allies

• Fry - While the Fry family is regrettably open minded on topics the Millers would prefer stay more contained, no one can doubt their skills at managing and tending the land. The Millers and the Frys work closely together on fire and mountain rescues, both families long-accustomed to living off of the land and tracking game.

Enemies

• Utridge - In the past, Mr. Benjamin "Binks" Utridge canoodled shamelessly with not one, but two of the Miller women (Edith and Caroline), and the rift between the families remains. While they are often invited to similar events, the older generation, especially, uniformly disapproves of contact.

Holdings

Town or city blurb.

• Old Logging Mill - WR02 - The mill still operates, albeit on a far lesser scale, providing the town with quality lumber and providing the Millers with a way to give back to their home.
• Miller Estate - WR02 - The old family home is still the center of family gatherings, expanded over the years to accommodate extended family. It's a rambling, but modest estate all things considered, its wealth mainly evident in its size and good construction. A number of smaller homes have been built in the vicinity, though there is no pressure to do so.
