I just came across your story quite by accident. Hannah and James Miller are also my great-grandparents. My mother Irma (Rochon) Robb is Lorena (Miller) Rochon’s daughter (one of twelve children). I was at Gordon Miller’s 80th birthday party last year and met his family (my cousins). Spoke with Laurie in particular and really enjoyed her stories about him. She told me about the trips up north looking for Indian pictograms. This is all so wonderfully interesting, especially the notations from other relatives. I guess there must be many of them out there. I only remember visiting Gogama once when I was a young child, and we went by train because there was no road in. I do remember the old Hudson’s Bay store. I would love to read more of your adventures.

My parents first came to Grassy Lake about 1953. We camped in the Grassy River watershed from that time right up to this year, 2010. Fourth generation now. We lived in the bush. I remember the Indian camp in Grassy Lake and visiting with the elderly man there. I also remember Roy Naveau. I have a birch bark moose call that he made for my Dad probably 30+ years ago. We appreciated that freindship very much. I saw the paintings on Ferris Lake as a young child. Ernie Moore and his wife also part of my memories. They owned the Post Office and store in Shiningtree.

Here I am yet another long lost relative that has found you through the internet. My great grandfather was James Miller married to Hannah Neveau. Their son Wilfred was my grandfather and died in 1943. Do you know how Hannah died? Do you have any more info about her? My mother has a lot of info regarding James Miller and is going to mail it out to me. My husband and I left ON last year due to both if us being laid off. We are now in Calgary starting over. I hope to hear from you!
