Julia Miller Horton loved flowers from earliest childhood In later years, Dr. Horton planted roses outside her bedroom window so she could always see the roses. When they were in bloom, he would cut roses from the garden and set them beside her bed. Roses played a big part in a beautiful Columbia love story, still remembered in the legacy of the Julia Burns Horton Rose Garden at the Trabue House. Julia Ann Pickett Great niece and namesake of Julia Miller Horton Julia Miller Horton was born May 28,1894, to the parents of Susan Russell Patteson and Dr. Samuel Preston Miller. Her grandfather, Captain Oliver Patteson, served in the Civil War. It was he and his wife, Mary Belle Russell, who built the Miller home on top of Jamestown Hill. Julia was one of six children: Mary, Susan, Otha Butler, Oliver and James Preston Miller. This home stayed in the family for four generations and the last residing home of Julia and Dr. Horton. There are still family members of Julia Miller Horton living in Columbia: Two special neices, Billie Jo Edwards and Thelma Harper Cundiff, and also several great neices and nephews.They also acquired two namesakes, Julia Pickett Thompson and William Burns Pickett of Columbia, KY. Julia was known as the "First Lady" of Lindsey Wilson College where Dr. Horton was President for 19 years. They never had any children of their own, but Julia was a role model and mother to several neices and nephews. She was a kind, graceful lady who had a deep love for her family and the ancestry from which we came. Even as a small child she always loved flowers and especially roses. She always had a flower garden wherever she lived. When she became bedridden with severe arthritis and osteoporsis, Dr. Horton fixed a rose garden outside her bedroom window so she could see the roses. When they were in bloom, he would bring cut roses and keep them beside her bed. It was after her death in 1976, with deep love and devotion, he had a rose garden in her name placed at the Trabue house. The Trabue house was also a family home and Dr. Horton felt that it was an appropriate place for the roses. Julia Miller Horton left behind beautiful memories and many qualities that are embraced by us, and still carries with the family today. As the plaque reads in the flower garden... You may break,you may shatter the vase if you will,Like Aunt Julia... she may be gone, but the memories of the lady she was still lingers, just like the roses ... she was so loved by us all...that we can still smell the lingering scent of the roses....
