WILLIAM H. MILLER.—Mr. Miller was born in Schuyler county, New York, February
11, 1833. He came to California in 1852, and mined at Hansonville, Yuba county,
and afterwards on the north fork of Feather river until 1858, when he bought a
ranch in Humbug valley. He sold this ranch in 1859, and went to Butt valley,
Plumas county, where he engaged in the stock and dairy business. In 1859 he was
married to Mrs. L. A. Smith, who was born in Herkimer county, New York. In 1879
Mr. Miller erected a large hotel and residence. He, in partnership with L. W.
Bunnell, was the owner of a store six miles below the valley on the North Fork,
also one near their residence. After a short illness, Mr. Miller died on the
twenty-sixth of November, 1879. He was universally esteemed, and left a host of
friends. He was a prominent member of the Masonic fraternity. Mrs. Miller still
lives at the homestead, conducting an extensive dairy business, and a store
opposite the hotel.
