Erin Miller-Reverri has fond memories of growing up on her family's centuries-old dairy farm that was struck by fire on Sunday evening.

"This farm's been in my family since 1770," she said. "It's all we know. It's not a job. It's a way of life."

A barn at the Millerhurst Farm in Ancramdale caught fire on Sunday and spread quickly, according to witnesses.

"I drove by here at 7 o'clock. There was nothing out of the ordinary," former farm operator Jim Miller said. "At 7:30, the fire trucks were on their way. It was fully involved."

Forty-six dairy cows — all of whom had names — died.

One of the cows — named "Glow" — apparently escaped, since she was found on Monday morning in the calf barn, current owner and operator Emily Miller said.

About 90 calves, dry cows and bred heifers were in other buildings at the time, and were unaffected. No humans were injured.

The Millers said they have insurance that may help them recoup some of their losses, and friends of the Millers had raised $46,000 through an online fundraiser as of Monday evening.

Spectrum News asked Emily Miller whether she plans to rebuild.

"I don't know. It's too soon to say," she said. "We kept doing it in hopes that our granddaughter would, one day, want to run the farm. So, I'm not sure what we're going to do."

An investigation team trailer was on-site Monday while fire investigators work to figure out how — and where — the fire started.

Miller-Reverri said most of the Miller family is still in shock.

"We don't really know where to go from here. Everybody is just kind of numb," she said. "You take it for granted when something is always there until it's not there anymore."
