CHARLES MILLER, deceased, was for many years one of the well-to-do farmers of Dubuque County, and at his death his community was deprived of one of its best residents. His estate was located on section 23, Jefferson Township, and bore all the usual improvements which were necessary to carry on the work in which its owner was engaged.

Our subject was a native of Russia, and was born November 30, 1827. In 1853, when deciding to come to America, he first landed in New York, whence he made his way directly to this county in order to join his parents, who had preceded him to the New World the previous year. Charles being the eldest of the family, his father gave him forty acres of wild farming and, trusting to his ability to cultivate and improve it. He was enterprising and energetic, and it was not long before he produced the largest crop of corn in his district in proportion to the amount of land devoted to that article.

Charles Miller was married June 4,1852, to Miss Anna Liza, the daughter of George and Flora (Snider) Vetter, also natives of Russia. Their union resulted in the birth of ten children, named respectively: Charles, Mary, Louise, Louis, Henry, Katie, Martin, Emma, Christine and Edward. The husband and father was called home May 3, 1884. His death was a sad blow not only to mourning relatives, but also to many friends in whose hearts he had held a warm place.

Mr. Miller was a Christian man in every sense of the term, and a devoted member of the Congregational Church. In politics he upheld the policy of the Democratic Party. He was a man honorable in every relation of life, and was highly regarded by all who knew him or had dealings with him.
