grated to America. He was the third child of a family of three boys and four girls, born to John and Christina (Rider) Miller, and the first of his family to emigrate to America. His parents are now both deceased, having both died in the old country. On the 29th of September, 1852, our subject was married, in Cincinnati, to Margaret Elizabeth Koeger, daughter of Conrad and Elizabeth (Hofman) Koeger. By this union four children were born, viz., Maggie, born Dec. 26, 1853, now the wife of David Thompson; Kate, born Dec. 27, 1855; Peter, born Jan. 5, 1858, and Charles, born April 27, 1860. Since his 16th year, Mr. Miller has been working at the trade of stonemason, and latterly as a farmer. In May, 1848, he was drafted and served six months in the royal army, after which he enlisted with the Liberty party and fought against the King. He is a hard-working, intelligent citizen, who has gained his present standing by honesty, industry and sobriety. |
