General Notes: Husband - David Miller

---

As a boy he was bound out to a hotel keeper near Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. When he came of age he learned the tailor's trade, which he followed for some years. As his children grew to mature age he determined to seek a home where land could be procured more easily and a better start secured for them. In 1832 he moved to Boalsburg, Centre County, a one-horse and a two-horse wagon serving to bring the family and the household goods. He continued his trade while looking about for the desired opening into agricultural work, his lack of capital making the search a difficult one. Finally he rented a farm near Rock Springs, Centre County, and five years later took another near Pennsylvania Furnace. He prospered, and after a time purchased 100 acres of timbered land in the "Barrens," and, building a log house, started in true pioneer fashion to clear a farm. As old age came on he sold this tract and bought twenty-five acres from a farm then owned by his son, Elias, and putting up a good log house and stable he and his estimable wife lived there some years. Elias Miller, however, removed to Miles township, and wishing to have his parents near him, purchased a small but comfortable home near Madisonburg, in which they passed their remaining years. Their remains were first laid to rest in the Lutheran cemetery, but later Elias Miller had them transferred to the German Reformed Cemetery, both having been devout followers of that faith.

He was a man of small build. In early life he enjoyed excellent health, but he became crippled in the left leg through a crookedness caused by white swelling. This disadvantage did not prevent him from working and trying to realize his hopes of a competence for himself and his family.
