   J. E. MILLER, a native of the county in which he now resides, was born May 3,
1841, and is one in a family of five children born to Samuel and Sarah (Newsom)
Miller, appropriate mention of whom is made elsewhere in this work. His early
years were passed in his father's grist and woolen mills and in going to school,
and after attaining his majority he took charge of the woolen mill at Point
Commerce. In 1865, he became a partner of W. C. Andrews in merchandising,
continuing seven years; but in 1871 he had the woolen factory at Point Commerce
removed to Worthington. where he now carries on an extensive business in
manufacturing, carding, spinning, buying wool, grain, seeds, etc., and
transacting by far the largest cash business of any man in Worthington. Mr.
Miller is one of the stanch business men of the place, and to his energy and
forethought the town is largely indebted for its prosperity and just reputation
as a live business point. In politics, he is a Republican, following in the
footsteps of his father, who was first a Whig and afterward a Republican. He is
a member of the Episcopal Church and the Masonic brotherhood; is a genial and
intelligent gentleman, and an esteemed citizen. On the 10th of May, 1866, he was
united in marriage to Miss Katharine R. Andrews, who was born in Franklin
County, Ohio, July 15, 1842, a daughter of W. C. Andrews, whose biography
precedes this.
