“The
following petition for change of name was filed Monday, February 7th
(1881) in Henderson County Court: W.H.
Miller, Petitioner: Your petitioner
respectfully represents that his name is W.H. Miller, that he is 38 years of
age; was born in Breckenridge County, Ky
and is a citizen of Henderson County and has been a citizen of this county
since 1863; that he has no relatives
living by the name of Miller; that he
has many relatives in different parts of the state named Clark; that he desires to visit them and locate
among them; that he and his relatives
desire his name changed to Clark;
wherefore your petitioner prays for the order of the Court changing his
name from W.H. Miller to Lucien Simeon Clark …
“Thereupon
the following order was made and recorded:
This day appeared W.H. Miller and filed his petition … from which it
appears Miller is over 21 years of age, a citizen of this county, and desires his name changed from W.H. Miller to Lucien Simeon Clark.
“Mr. Lucien
Simeon Clark may now be called the late Mr. W.H. Miller. He is not dead but liveth, going out into the
world the same man, but under a new name.”[1]
