General Notes: Husband - Erskine J. Miller


He was reared in Butler County, Pennsylvania, and had excellent educational opportunities. His early schooling was obtained in the home locality, and later he attended Grove City College, making such good progress that he was prepared to begin teaching when only sixteen years of age, and followed the profession from that time for a period of twenty-one years. All but one year he was engaged in Butler County, that year being spent at Parker City, Armstrong Co., Pa. When he decided to give up teaching and enter business Mr. Miller came to Franklin and took a position with the General Manifold & Printing Company, with whom he remained one year in the capacity of foreman painter. The next year he was hosekeeper for the Chicago Pneumatic Tool Company, later taking his present position at the Franklin Steel Works (now the Franklin branch of the American Steel Foundries), where he was engaged as hosekeeper and timekeeper for fifteen years.
Mr. Miller was a Republican in political opinion and long took an active part in the local campaigns of the party, doing valuable work. About 1908 he was elected a member of the council, and assisted with the city government in that capacity without interruption for some years thereafter, also holding a place on the committee on Finance and Accounts, for which he was especially well qualified. Eventually he was nominated for the highest executive office. His religious association was with the Methodist Episcopal Church, in which he was an active worker, serving several years as superintendent of the Sunday school. Fraternally he held membership in the I. O. O. F. and Woodmen of the World. [HVC 1919, 491]
