Miller Mennonite Church (Pendleton County, West Virginia, USA)
Miller Mennonite Church (Mennonite Church), now extinct, was located on the North Fork in Union Magisterial District, Pendleton County, West Virginia, two miles below (north) the mouth of the Seneca. Samuel and Sara Miller gave the land here for a church which was to be used by "all orthodox denominations." This was the first church built in West Virginia under the auspices of the Mennonites of the Middle District of the Virginia Conference. The Brethren Church became active in the area and the Mennonites lost out. There was more promising work elsewhere in the West Virginia field for the Mennonites. The church was moved to Roaring Creek in 1913.
