Minnesota and came to Bessie Oklahoma and bought 3 farms with the money for his 3 children.  Because Behnke and Clina Miller used the horse and plow instead of going in debt to buy tractors, they survived the great depression while their siblings lost their farms to the banks
and fled to California, like all the other Okies in Grapes of Wrath.  The family has the original land run document signed by Theodore Roosevelt for their farm dated 1898.  Exquisite Beauty and museum quality crosshatch and floral quilting at 8-10 stitches per inch.  Dynamite graphic art!
