  Katherine was half sister of Hugh Miller from her mother's first marriage. ______________ Hugh Miller. (2019). En.wikipedia.org. Retrieved 20 July 2019, from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugh_Miller ____________________ Geologist, evangelical journalist and writer Hugh Miller was apprenticed as a stonemason - an occupation which stimulated his interest in geology. He went on to edit the evangelical newspaper 'The Witness' and to produce many publications including 'Scenes and Legends of the North of Scotland' (1835), 'The Old Red Sandstone' (1841) on fossils found in the Cromarty area and his autobiography 'My Schools and Schoolmasters' (1854). His 6,500 fossils formed the basis of the National Museum of Scotland's collection. The National Library of Scotland holds the main body of his original manuscripts (some 13 bound volumes) on deposit from the National Trust for Scotland....
