General Notes: Husband - John J. Miller
He was reared on the farm and attended the public schools. When quite young he entered his father's mill and learned the trade of a miller, which he thereafter followed throughout life. About 1872 he moved with his family to Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, and for a period of ten years conducted a grist mill at Enon Valley, in partnership with a Mr. Whitmire. He sold out his interest to a Mr. Fisher and in 1883 moved to Wampum, where, in partnership with Jacob Pitts, he built a mill along the railroad, out of which grew the plant of the later Wampum Milling Company. This partnership lasted until the death of Mr. Miller, August 19, 1899, and in April, 1900, Mrs. Miller and her two sons purchased the interest of Mr. Pitts. They they conducted the mill in a most successful manner, enjoying a large and lucrative trade.
Fraternally, Mr. Miller was a member of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, whilst in political affiliation he was a Republican.
