is a native of Lancaster county, Pa., where he was born, October 30, 1832.  In 
1833 his parents moved to Erie, Pa., and his father, Dr. A. Miller, was engaged 
in business with John A. Tracy, under the firm-name of Miller & Tracy.  The 
family, in 1842, emigrated to La Porte, Ind., where the subject of this sketch 
received his education, under the direction of Prof. Cummings.  Here Mr. 
Miller�s father died, and he with his mother and brother-in-law, J. B. Lemon, 
came to this State, settling in Green Valley township, Solano county, in 
September, 1852.  The following year we find him mining at Jackson, Amador 
county, Cal., in the Placer diggings; but in July, 1856, he returned to this 
county, and engaged in mercantile pursuits till April, 1864, when he took up his 
abode in Suisun City.  Has been Deputy County Treasurer since the election of 
John B. Lemon to that office.  Mr. Miller has maintained a continued residence 
in this county since his coming here, except one year�s visit to La Porte, Ind., 
which he made in 1867.
