General Notes: Husband - John N. Miller


He immigrated to the United States in 1853, and located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, but the same year he came to Evans City, Butler County, where he worked at the shoemaker's trade for seventeen years. In 1868 he embarked in the hotel business, and continued until 1891, when he was succeeded by his son, Charles H. He erected the Miller House in 1876.

Before coming to America, Mr. Miller served seven years in the Marine Corps of the French army, and visited Mexico, California, the West Indies, Brazil, Spain, Chili and Australia.
He was a member of the German Reformed church, to which denomination his family also belonged. He was a stanch Democrat in politics, and was a member of Evans City Lodge, I. O. O. F.
Mr. Miller was largely interested in farming and oil property, and by strict attention to his business he had accumulated through the passing years a handsome competence.
