History

After biblical scholar Joseph M. Miller moved to Holden in 1915 from Macon, he ordered the construction of the Joseph M. Miller Mausoleum. It was finished in by 1927, and some fifteen to twenty of Miller's relatives have been buried inside between its completion and 1931. In 2010, descendant Carl Cranfill moved to Holden to maintain it.[1] [2] [3]

It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 29, 2018.[4]

In 2022, it was reported as haunted.[5]
