General Notes: Husband - Robert Allison Miller


He received his education in the select schools of Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, and after finishing his course of study, was for about a year engaged in teaching school. He afterwards studied dentistry in the office of H. K. Neff, of Huntingdon, and completed his professional preparation in the College of Dentistry in Philadelphia. He commenced practice in Huntingdon about 1850, and continued the same with success for twenty-six years. Relinquishing dentistry in 1876, Dr. Miller became interested in real estate and insurance business, to which he then devoted his exclusive attention. He was general agent of the Penn Mutual Life Insurance Co. of Philadelphia, of which company he was also a trustee. His jurisdiction for the company extended over Huntingdon, Mifflin, Blair, Cambria, Clearfield and Indiana counties. Dr. Miller also owned an interest in a flour milling business, established in 1829 by Thomas Fisher and David McMurtrie. It afterwards passed into the hands of Thomas Fisher alone, and at his death, into those of his son, Hon. Horatio G. Fisher. Subsequently, Dr. Miller purchased a half interest in the establishment, which was then conducted under the firm name of Fisher & Miller. After the death of Mr. Fisher, Elwood A. Miller, son of the Doctor, became interested in the business, which then belonged to the father and son.
