General Notes: Husband - John Irwin Miller


He was born in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, and was ten years old when he came to Indiana County with his parents. There he attended school and grew up on the farm, beginning work with his father. Then he began work on his own account, on a ninety-eight-acre tract in Conemaugh township, on which he farmed for a number of years, moving thence to Blacklick township, where he bought a farm of 204 acres. On this tract he built a large barn and made numerous other improvements, and there he was engaged in general farming and stock raising the rest of his life. He took great interest in the welfare of the township, as well as of his own home and property, and was specially active in supporting any movement for the good of the public schools. He gave all his children good educational advantages, six of them becoming school teachers, three graduating at Grove City College.
He was a member and trustee of the Ebenezer Presbyterian Church. In political opinion he was a Republican. He served his township as overseer of the poor.
