General Notes: Husband - Horace G. Miller

---

He attended the public school and Johnson Academy, and during his vacation at the age of sixteen years became a messenger boy, and when seventeen years old was appointed the first messenger for the New Castle telegraph office, which was then located in the Leslie House. In 1873, he worked at Lawrence Junction for a short time, and in the same year was appointed agent at New Port, and became manager in 1875 of the Atlantic & Pacific Co.'s telegraph station at Millerstown, Pennsylvania. On Oct. 23, 1877, the Western Union Telegraph Company absorbed the various and conflicting lines, and he was appointed manager of the office and business at New Castle, Jan. 1, 1878. In 1886, he found an opportunity in the mercantile circles of New Castle, and added to his duties as manager of the W. U. Telegraph office the retail dealing in cigars and tobacco. Also during this time Mr. Miller was interested in the retailing of hard and soft coal, having yards on the east side, where the Gailey Lumber Co. was later located. From 1875 to 1878 he speculated extensively in the oil fields.
He was an uncompromising Republican, and served on the Republican County and State Committees, and was president of the Republican Club. He was well-advanced in Masonic Orders.
