General Notes: Husband - Peter Miller


He was only nine years old when his parents brought him to America from his native land, but he had already been at school and understood both the French and German languages and later obtained a good knowledge of the English tongue. As both father and grandfather had been blacksmiths, he learned the trade and worked for a time as a smith, but later devoted his main attention to agricultural pursuits, including general farming and the raising of sufficient good stock for his own use.
He and his family belonged to the Lutheran Church, he being a member of the council. He took no very active interest in politics but on one occasion consented to serve as road supervisor, declining a second election.

He was a citizen of Muddy Creek Township, Butler County, on an estate of 112 acres situated about one and one-half miles south of Portersville, on the west side of the Mercer road, the highway passing through a portion of his land.
