General Notes: Husband - John Monteith Miller

---

At the age of fourteen years he was sent to Elder's Ridge Academy, then to Jefferson College, Canonsburg, from which he was graduated in 1861. He then entered his name as a law student in Philadelphia, but was obliged to return home and take charge of the old homestead.
His prosperous career as a farmer was well known among his fellow-Pennsylvanians, among whom his position as a prominent stock raiser was well established. He enjoyed a national reputation as a breeder of North Devon cattle. At the time of his death he was president of the American Devon Cattle Club; vice-president of the Spanish Merino Sheep Breeders' Association; a member of the State Board of Agriculture, and a member of the Western Pennsylvania Agricultural Association. He was a farmer who loved his vocation and his home, improving not only the land but the stock buildings and methods of farming. In other business pursuits he was equally successful and made him a recognized authority in business matters. Politically, he was a Democrat, but, though interested in public questions, was averse to political preferment. He served for many years as justice of the peace, and in other township offices. He was deeply interested in the public schools, spending much of his time in planning for their improvement.
On the morning of May 14, 1888, he was stricken with apoplexy, and at one o'clock of the same day he passed away, seemingly without any pain.
Mr. Miller was possessed of a fine appearance and of a hearty, genial manner, which, with his generous disposition, won him friends innumerable.

He and his wife had five children-three sons and two daughters-all still living in 1893.
