General Notes: Husband - Benjamin F. Miller

---

He met with a sad accident when about three years old. He was playing with his brother Harvey (a year and a half older), and a stone was thrown which injured his left eye, causing its loss, and ever since a few weeks after the accident there was intense pain also.

His first schooling was obtained at the Glade school in his native township. He was but a boy-not yet in his "teens"-when his parents removed to a farm in the vicinity of Madisonburg, Centre County, Pennsylvania. Work was, of course, plenty, and he acquired familiarity with the details of farm management at an early age. After some years his parents removed to Madisonburg and he with his brother Harvey conducted the farm.
After his marriage Mr. Miller continued to reside at the old home until March 17, 1896, when he removed to Madisonburg, where he owned a home. His farm consisted of 145 acres with 100 acres cleared, and the elder of his two sons, John E., then had charge of it.

He and his wife were prominent members of the Reformed Church, in which he was a deacon and elder, and also the treasurer. Sunday-school work always claimed his active aid, and at the age of twenty years he became superintendent. He held the office at intervals thereafter. Politically he is a stanch Democrat, but although he was a regular voter, and served in various township offices, he was not a politician.
