General Notes: Husband - George P. Miller


He received his education in the district school of Hempfield township, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, and after completing his studies there apprenticed himself to a painter, where he learned the painting trade, which he followed for a number of years thereafter. He then engaged in a butcher's business on his own account and opened a shop at Adamsburg, Pennsylvania, and there did a large and remunerative business. In the year 1861 he enlisted in Company I, Eleventh Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, which was promptly ordered to the front and with which he saw much active service. He was, however, severely wounded at the battle of Antietam, so much so that he was rendered unfit for further service and received his honorable discharge. But it was not alone from soldiering that his wound incapacitated him. He was thereafter obliged to live a largely inactive life, only occasionally being able to do a little butchering in connection with his business. He was a staunch Republican in politics, and a member of the United Brethren church, and took a very active interest therein, serving for many years as a trustee of the Middletown church.
