General Notes: Husband - Samuel Henry Miller

---

He was reared and educated in the vicinity of his birthplace, and was a young man when he settled in Sugar Creek Township, Venango County, Pennsylvania, in 1871, since when he has been engaged in farming there. In 1873 he operated the County Farm, which lay about one mile from his present home, and he subsequently spent seven years on the Murdock farm before coming to his own place, which he bought in 1881. The property comprised 218 acres, of which about one hundred had been under cultivation, though the land was worn out and had lain idle for years, much of what had been cleared having a heavy growth of brush which had to be cut before any planting could be done. There were no buildings on the tract. He shipped in large quantities of lime for fertilizing purposes, and converted a waste place to a state of profitable fertility and attractive orderliness. All the horses, cattle, hogs, etc., on the place were fed on home products. The farm lay six miles west of Franklin, and could be reached by a private road, lying some distance back from the main highway, with all the advantages of seclusion in a pleasant rural section, though not far enough from the main roads of travel to be lonely.
For over twenty years Mr. Miller was one of the most active men in the township in the interest of good schools especially. He became a school director in 1876 and served for twenty-two years with but one year's interruption, during which time the board built or rebuilt all the schoolhouses in the township, ten of them, besides erecting the first school at Rocky Grove. He was a member of the committee which secured the lease of land for that school (No. 100) for twenty years of Judge McCalmont, and at the end of that period bought the property, upon which a new six-room building was erected. For seven years, from 1886, Mr. Miller served the township as tax collector, his annual collections amounting to ten thousand dollars, and he was township assessor for six years and at the same time register of voters, holding the latter office again subsequently. Formerly he was a Democrat in political principle, but he was later a Prohibi­tionist. He was a trustee of the Bethesda Wesleyan Methodist Church, which was within a mile of his home, and also acted as class leader. [HVC 1919, 983]
