Belle never married but by at least 33 she was the Superintendent of Schools in Red Bluff, and evidently a beautiful woman:
In the Weekly Red Bluff News the editor wrote on June 3, 1893 from Champion Mills that among other things,
"Our good-looking superintendent of schools, Miss Belle Miller, was here a few days ago looking after the schools, as she claimed, but if I am any judge she did not bang her hair and make montagues over her rosy cheeks for that purpose. Such pleasing ways and beautiful smiles on her lips would win angels. Riding on the locomotives over to the logging camps with those fine-looking engineers, and seeing those stalwart woodsmen - Oh, my! So you call that looking after the schools? I think there is something untold, for since her departure to her cozy office in Red Bluff, F. Waite and two others are asking for a furlough of one week to look up some school laws in the southeast corner of the courthouse. May she visit us often. She is always a welcome visitor, and we are ever ready to share our Lyonsville hospitality with her."
