General Notes: Husband - F. W. Miller


His education was begun in the schools of Snyder County, but his parents removed during his boyhood to Northumberland County, where he attended the district schools for some time. While still in his teens he accompanied the family to East Buffalo township, Union County, his father having purchased a farm there. As the youngest son, he remained at home to assist his father, and much of his youth was spent in clearing at the new home, and in the routine of farm work.
After his marriage Mr. Miller located on a farm in Kelly township, Union County, belonging to his father and father-in-law in partnership. He remained there eight years, purchasing the place in the meantime, and in 1871 moved to the Biehl homestead in East Buffalo township, near Lochiel.
He bought eighty acres for $16,000, and made his home there in 1871. In 1890 he bought Noah Slear's brick house in Lochiel, and moved into it in April, 1893, when his son, Harry E., moved onto the Lochiel farm. In his farm near Vicksburg, in Buffalo township, he had sixty-seven acres, making 147 acres in all, which cost him on an average $182.50 per acre. Being accustomed to active life, and wishing to improve the farm buildings, in the spring of 1897, he moved onto the farm near Vicksburg, where he then lived.
