Miller, George. Was born in Switzerland, November 24, 1825. Emigrated to America
when twenty-two years of age. He resided in Lucas county, Ohio, until 1850, when
he emigrated to California, crossing the plains, and spent his first Winter in a
plow-manufacturing establishment at Sonoma city. In the Spring he commenced
farming, which business he followed until January, 1853, when he bought an
interest in a saw and gristmill on Mill creek, which he conducted until 1855,
when he disposed of his interest; and in February, 1856, went back to Ohio,
where he married Miss Ursula Muller, June 1, 1856, she being born in
Switzerland, August 4, 1839. He then, in company with his wife, returned to
California, via Panama. Once more settled in this county, Mr. Miller bought back
his interest in the mill, which he retained until 1862, when he again sold out,
and settled in Healdsburg, where he opened a distillery, which he conducted
until 1877. Mr. Miller is now farming on a small ranch just south of the depot,
where he has built a nice little residence. Celia is their only child living,
being born May 4, 1857. One son, named Alexander, born October 1, 1859, died in
1868.
