ANDREW MILLER.—This gentleman was born in Bavaria, Germany, June 8, 1826. He,
with his parents, removed to the United States in 1839. Settled first in Harford
county, Maryland, where they remained three years, and then removed to Pike
county, Illinois, where his father engaged in farming. Here Andrew remained
until 1849, when he came overland to California, arriving in Sacramento in the
summer of that year, and in the fall removed to Hangtown, where he mined until
the next spring, from which time for the next twelve years he engaged in
merchandising, packing, and other branches of business. In the spring of 1863 he
came to Susanville, and, in partnership with Rufus Kingsley, built the first
fire-proof store in the town. Four years later he sold out and removed to
Longville, Plumas county, and settled on a farm which he had bought in 1859,
where he has ever since made his home. In April, 1871, he was appointed receiver
for the U. S. Land Office at Susanville, which position he still holds. He is a
member of the Masonic lodge, chapter, and commandery at Susanville. In politics,
he is republican. Mr. Miller was married August 25th, 1862, to Miss Lydia
Russell, born in Maine, August 20, 1838. Their children are Maud, born August 9,
1863; Russell Keith, April 12, 1865; Frank Leon, August. 3,1866; Mabel L.,
February 11, 1868; Perley, January 6, 1870; Mark, December 30, 1872—all born in
Plumas county.
