General Notes: Husband - John Miller


He was first a farmer in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, and in the late eighteen-forties moved to Indiana County, settling in Conemaugh township on a farm of 160 acres. It was not only covered with timber, but also rocky, but he succeeded in clearing up much of it; at one period he spent seventeen days hauling stone from his land. He continued on that farm the remainder of his life, engaged in farming and stock raising, dying there, aged sixty-six years. He served his township as supervisor and overseer of the poor. He was a member and elder of the Ebenezer Presbyterian Church.
