General Notes: Husband - Daniel Milliron

---

He was a lad of about eight years at the time when the family home was established in the wilds of Jefferson County, Pennsylvania, and there he gained his full quota of experience in the labors and hardships of pioneer life.
In the year 1846 he established his home in the midst of the forest a half mile south of Emerickville. When he became owner of the property he found the tract covered with a heavy growth of pine timber, and his initial work of reclamation involved the cutting down of the forest trees, which he manufactured into square timber and rafted to Pittsburgh. He thus reclaimed seventy-five acres, and became one of the substantial farmers of the county. The barn which he erected in 1863 was still standing in 1917 in an excellent state of preservation. Mr. Milliron served more than a score of years as justice of the peace, being the incumbent of that office at the time of his death. His political tenets were indicated by his earnest advocacy of the cause of the Democratic party, and both he and his wife were pioneer members of the Methodist Episcopal Church at Emerickville. In the early days Mr. Milliron hauled merchandise and other supplies from the Allegheny river to Jefferson County, and he was the owner of the first good team of horses introduced into Pinecreek township, where also he brought in the first two cookstoves, one for his own home and the other sold to a neighbor. With true pioneer skill he manufactured his own worksleds and various farm utensils and accessories, and for this purpose he kept himself well supplied with tools.
