“After the death of Esther Van Sciver in 1952, Miller married his third wife, Nita Crabbe, on June 1, 1953. In a wedding announcement, she was said to be a veteran attorney and civil engineer. Unfortunately, not much else is known of her. She seems to have been living in Nyack, New York, where Miller lived, just before their wedding. Also, per the Catalog of Copyright Entries, she was renewing copyrights on Miller’s songs throughout the 1960s and 1970s.” [Roberts] (I DON'T WANT NO MORE OF ARMY LIFE) GEE, MOM, I WANT TO GO HOME; w&m Charlotte Kackley, pseud. of Bob Miller. © 14Apr44; EU371228.
