Author: Goodspeed (1884)

   DANIEL MILLER, dealer in drugs, groceries and notions, was born in Holmes
County, Ohio, March 29, 1839, and is one of ten children, six yet living, born
to Michael and Margaret (Harrigan) Miller, the former being born in Germany and
the latter of Irish descent. Daniel was raised on his parent's farm, received a
common school education, and the fall of 1859, went to Wayne County, Ohio, where
he followed threshing until the spring of 1860, when he went to Summit County,
continuing a like business in conjunction with farming. In 1862, Miss Diana
Kepler became his wife, and four years later he and wife came to Greene County,
Ind., which has since been their home. Mr. Miller first purchased a farm in Cass
Township, upon which he resided until 1872; then removed to Newberry with the
expectation of retiring from active work, but shortly afterward he was induced
to be a partner with Uriah Christenberry in merchandising. He is now alone in
the business, carries a full line of goods and commands a good trade. Since
being a resident of Greene County, Mr. Miller has united with his neighbors in
the support of all matters of a beneficial nature to his town, township or
county, and for sixteen years he has been honored as the Justice of the Peace
for Cass Township. He was first elected the spring of 1868, every vote cast in
the township being in his favor, except the one he polled for his opponent. He
is yet serving in that capacity, and is an old-fashioned Democrat in politics.
He and wife have had born to them three children, but all died in infancy.
