General Notes: Husband - John F. Miller


His home was in his native land until he was fifteen years of age, and it was in the schools of that country that he received a sound, thorough elementary education, his studies being discontinued when he came to the United States in 1839. Pennsylvania was the objective point of his voyage, and he settled in Beaver, Beaver County. The necessity of making a living compelled a hurried choice of a vocation and he decided upon the trade of shoemaker, arranging terms for serving an apprenticeship with Robert Tallon, a boot and shoe maker of that place, with him learning the trade. He then established a shop of his own, and eventually he was forced to employ first one, then two, and finally eight men to supply the needs of the locality both in repairing and in making footwear. In 1851 the home of the family was made at Smiths Ferry, his residence and place of business until his death, a decade later. Both he and his wife were members of the Lutheran church.


General Notes: Wife - Mary Camp


She was born on the ocean, her parents being en route to the United States from Germany.
