   JOHN N. MILLER, master mechanic of the Lady Ensley mines at Russellville,
Ala., was born in Franklin county, Ga., April 9, 1839, and was reared and
educated in his native state. His parents were Jesse C. and Rachel (Adams)
Miller, of South Carolina, and had born to them fourteen children, of whom John
N. is the sixth in order of birth. The Miller family is of Irish origin, the
progenitor of the American branch, Thomas Miller, having come to this country
when quite young, and having been reared mostly in America. John N. Miller came
to Alabama in 1860. In 1862 he enlisted in company G, Twenty-eighth Alabama
infantry, with which he took part in the battles of Corinth, Murfreesboro,
Mission Ridge, Franklin, Tenn., and Franklin, Ky., Atlanta, New Hope Church, and
Nashville. At Murfreesboro he was wounded in the right shoulder by a minie ball,
was captured by the enemy and confined at Indianapolis, Ind., for six months,
when he was exchanged, and returned to his regiment. He was with Bragg in his
raid through Kentucky and Tennessee, and with Hood through Georgia. He was
sergeant of litter-bearers a greater portion of the time he was in the service,
and remained in the army until the close of the war. The marriage of Mr. Miller
took place in 1866, to Miss Nancy S. Crumley, a native of Georgia, and a
daughter of Robert Crumley, of that state. The result of this union is three
children-Nancy J., John P., and Lola Miller. Fraternally, Mr. Miller is a
Freemason, Odd Fellow and Knight of Honor, and his religion is found within the
pale of the Methodist Episcopal church, south. Through his industry and business
skill, Mr. Miller has acquired considerable real estate, owning fifty building
lots in Birmingham, aid land in Jefferson county, as well as Tuscaloosa county.
