Is a native of Ohio, and was born May 10, 1831.  At the age of seven years he, 
with his parents, moved to Indiana, where they resided about seven years, and 
then moved to Illinois.  In 1854 the subject of this sketch, leaving his 
parents, settled in Iowa, where he followed farming and milling until 1864, when 
he came to California.  Crossing the plains with a train of emigrants, he 
arrived at Siskiyou County October 10th of the above year.  Here he followed 
farming for about two years, and then moved to Mendocino County, where he 
prosecuted the same avocation six years.  We next find Mr. Miller in Lassen 
County, engaged in stock raising.  Here he remained about five years, then 
returned to Mendocino County, where he spent one year.  In October, 1878, he 
came to Lake County, and settled on his present place, consisting of one hundred 
and sixty acres, located in Scotts Valley, where he is engaged in farming.  Mr. 
Miller married, March 18, 1852, Miss Louisa J. Weller, a native of Kentucky.  By 
this union they have four living children, Elizabeth R., John H., Mary F. and 
Minerva J.  They have lost five.
