General Notes: Husband - Samuel Miller
He passed his boyhood on the farm his father had owned, about a mile and a half east of Greensburg, Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. His father dying while he was a mere child left the care of the farm and its management to his widow and his two sons, Samuel and Isaac. These boys, growing strong, industrious, and judicious, soon took upon themselves the entire management, and proved adequate to their trust. In 1840 he removed to the Grier farm, and occupied it as its possessor until his death.
"The character of a man such as Samuel Miller is difficult to describe. It was only from intimacy that one could get to understand him. He united in a marked degree traits seemingly at variance with each other. His manners, his conservatism, his scrupulous honesty belonged to the generation of his boyhood, but his activity in behalf of all innovations which were calculated to improve mankind about him, either in morals, in intellect, or in worldly circumstances, were the marked characteristics of a later generation. He was never in a hurry, and he was never behind time; watched well his interests, and at the same time adequately compensated his tenants and his working-men; was economical, but not penurious. For a full generation, or from the time he came to manhood, he was one of the recognized leaders in his township in those things wherein a leader is required. His zeal for the success and prosperity of the common schools of his district in particular, and for the system in general, knew no abatement as long as he lived.
In early life he united with the Presbyterian Church at Greensburg, under the pastorate of the Rev. Robert Henry. Having settled within the bounds of the Unity congregation he united with that church, and in about a year afterwards was elected a ruling elder, which office he filled with great usefulness and acceptance till the time of his death."
