General Notes: Husband - John Franklin Miller

---

He first attended the Cherry Valley school in Venango Township, Butler County, PA, and later the school conducted by I. C. Kettler in the Scrubgrass Church. He then assisted his father on the home­stead, which was located one and one half miles north of Eau Claire, until after his marriage when he went to work as a pumper in the oil fields. He continued in the oil fields for ten years, then worked as a huckster for six years, gathering prod­uce which he shipped in cars to Pittsburgh. He was very successful in this work and at the end of the time mentioned pur­chased thirty acres of the old homestead. This he subsequently sold to O. H. Tebay, then bought the remainder of the home­stead of his father. He had a rich farm of 100 acres, fifty of which was under culti­vation. He had nine good producing oil and gas wells, and there were two veins of coal underlying the land, one of them a three-foot vein which was opened at one time but not continuously worked. He had a fine grove of hard maples which produced from seventy-five to 150 gallons of maple syrup annually.
Politically, he was a member of the Democratic party, and filled various township offices, among them that of school director and auditor. He was an elder in the Scrubgrass Presbyterian church, of which he was a member for over twenty-nine years. He served three terms as superintendent of the Sabbath School.
