    Hezekiah Miller had a large shop for the manufacture of wagons, buggies and
harness, located at Gobler's Hill (Manta). A. blacksmith shop necessary to the
production of such was part of this .plant. His work was of such excellence that
he was employed in partnership, with Jas. S. Allums to build the bridge across
Upatoi creek in 1871 (official records show sums of money paid to Allums and
Miller.)

    A camp was formed for the workers near by; a saw mill set up and all lumber
selected with great care. Hezekiah Miller stayed at this camp during the entire
time, this bridge was under consrtuction, superintending the work from day to
day It is said by observers that the pins of hardwood holding the timbers
together were in perfect condition when this bridge, was demolished, after the
new concrete one farther downstream was finished.

    His son, W. E. Miller, inherited this talent and was a skillful worker with
tools. He made several articles of furniture which prove him an artisan of high
order. His blacksmith shop in Cusseta has been a place of unremitting industry
for many years and is now owned by his son G. J. Miller, who uses it whenever
occasion demands.
