General Notes: Husband - Thomas Miller

---

He received the rudiments of his education in an old log school-house on Chartiers creek, Washington County, Pennsylvania, and his first day's attendance was indelibly fixed on his memory by his being an eye-witness to the singular freak of a snake climbing up the wall of the house. He had a thorough, practical training in all the departments of agriculture, which was his life vocation, and in 1875 finally retired from active labor.
In 1875 he built an elegant house in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania, into which he and his faithful wife moved the same year. They were lifelong members of the U. P. Church, in which he was an elder for about forty-five years. Politically Mr. Miller was originally a Democrat, but left the ranks of that party on the slavery issue, and united with the old Whig party; he first voted for Martin Van Buren, then for William Henry Harrison. He was a delegate from Canonsburg at the first National Convention of the Republican party, held in Pittsburgh in 1856. In 1884, with a sense of duty to his fellow-men and to his God, he enlisted, under the Prohibition banner. Although earnest and most conscientious in his political associations Mr. Miller, nevertheless, consistently refused office. At the first Republican county convention he declined to become the nominee of his party for the State Legislature. He was a delegate to the Congressional Convention that nominated Hon. T. M. T. McKennan to fill the vacancy in Congress through the death of Hon. Joseph Lawrence, in 1842.
