There were about sixty boarders and fifty day students. While primarily a female seminary, Miller's sons were educated here. Many of the students belonged to what came to be known as the Southern aristocracy. For example, the mother of the Chairman of the Board of Regents of Texas A&M University Edward Benjamin Cushing, Matilda Burke, was educated here. Moreover, the daughters of three first judges on the Texas Supreme Court were also educated here: Betty Lipscomb and Lucy Lipscomb, daughters of Judge Abner Smith Lipscomb; Emily Wheeler, daughter of Judge Royall T. Wheeler; and Elizabeth Hemphill, daughter of Judge John Hemphill. Moreover, the nieces and grandnieces of Judge Robert Emmett Bledsoe Baylor, who lived on a farm across from the seminary, attended Live Oak. Anne Giddings, later the wife of J. N. Brown, the President of Alamo National Bank, and the mother of Clinton Giddings Brown, the Mayor of San Antonio, Texas, was also educated here.
