GILFORD - The son of a woman who was shot to death in her Country Club Road home last year was charged yesterday with what police are calling an unrelated gun charge. Jonathan R. Miller, 24, of 135
Stark St. is facing one count of being a felon in possession of a dangerous weapon. He was the son of 54-year-old Roberta “Bobbie” Miller. According to statement released to the media yesterday afternoon, Gilford Police accompanied by a N.H. State Police Trooper applied for and received
a warrant to search Jonathan Miller’s home and automobiles at 7:34 a.m. yesterday. Police said only that the warranted search was conducted during a traffic stop on Stark Street. They found a .45 caliber semi-automatic pistol with magazines and ammunition but did not say if the gun was
found in his cars or in his house. Gilford Police said Jonathan Miller has at least one conviction for burglary. A guard at the Carroll County Department of Corrections had three separate accounts of Jonathan Miller being incarcerated there — from June 5 see MiLLEr page 12

its name. “It was always known as the Squire Clark House until the 1950s,” said John Perley, whose childhood home at the corner see CLarK page 14
