Author: Progressive Men of Western Colorado

     To the settlement, civilization and development of the United States all

climes and tongues have contributed of their brain and brawn.  Early in her

history her men of breadth and progress realized that generosity in

naturalization was a potent factor in the growth of nations, especially new

countries, and her invitation to the world to accept her opportunities was broad

and liberal, and it has been accepted in the spirit in which it was tendered. 

The empire of Francis Joseph has made many contributions of value to her

civilizing forces, and among them must be mentioned Louis Miller, of Gunnison

county, Colorado, living near Oversteg.  He was born in Austria in 1861, the son

of John and Annie (Greta) Miller, natives of that country, where the mother died

at the age of thirty-seven.  The father emigrated to this country in 1883 and is

now living in Texas.  At the age of twelve their son came to the United States,

and making his way to Texas, was soon employed in the ranching and stock

industries of that great state, remaining there so occupied for fifteen years. 

He then moved to Colorado and settled where he now lives on a ranch of three

hundred and twenty acres near East river.  Since then he has been an important

factor in the cattle business of that part of the state and a man of force and

standing in its local public affairs.  He was married in 1900 to Miss Annie

Morelock, a native of Austria, and living at the time of her marriage at

Oversteg.  They have no children.  Wherever he has lived Mr. Miller has been

active in the development and improvement of his section, and has been among the

prominent and highly esteemed citizens who have given character and credit to

its institutions and its citizenship.
