In the early 1900s, the City of Gustine was founded and named after the daughter of “Cattle King” Henry Miller, whose name was Sara Miller. She was nicknamed Gussie because little Sara was always getting gussied up in her fancy clothes and she was killed when she was thrown from her horse at the age of eight.
Dealing with a tragedy like losing a child can be extremely tough and it is a good idea to talk to a professional to help deal with your feelings. No matter whether you are dealing with a traumatic situation like this or if you just need someone to talk to, there are plenty of counselors and therapists in the Gustine area who can help.
