General Notes: Husband - Jacob B. Miller


He was brought up on a farm in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, and received a common school education. In 1855 he came to Curllsville, Clarion County, and was clerk in a store. Returning to Lancaster County, he there remained for five years, then came to Madison Furnace, Clarion County, and was again a clerk. After this he was engaged in business at Callensburg for eleven years. At Sligo he then entered into a mercantile business with one of his sons, under the firm name of J. B. Miller & Son. Later the firm became J. B. Miller & Sons. Near Sligo he owned about one thousand acres of land, and he had a saw mill on the Clarion river, at Beaver. Another tract of land, which he owned in Forest County, was sold by him to Judge Harry Wilson, of Clarion. He owned a flouring mill also, at Sligo, and was owner of a brick-making plant at that place, which he operated for some years, but eventually sold. At a later time he was engaged in coal operations. He later retired from business, but continued to reside at Sligo. He was a Republican, but never held office. His religion was the Presbyterian.
