Author: Goodspeed (1884)

   REV. SAMUEL N. MILLER, deceased, was born in Cumberland County, Penn., in
February, 1810, a son of John and Anna (Neidigh) Miller, who were also natives
of the Keystone State, and directly descended from German ancestors. The family
removed to Wayne County, Ohio, at an early day, where John Miller died. His
widow afterward came to Indiana where she died. Samuel N. was married in about
1838, to Hannah Phillips and in about 1850, came to Greene County, Ind.,
locating on Section 26, in Highland Township, where their son, William H., now
resides. Mr. Miller was an ordained minister of the Church of God, and he
confined his attention almost exclusively to ministerial labors in Greene and
neighboring counties, until his death in May, 1872. Mrs. Miller died in March,
1877. They were the parents of eight children, all of whom lived to be married
and the parents of a family, and only one is now dead. With the exception of two
that live in Wayne County, Iowa, all live in Greene County, Ind. William H.
Miller, one of the above children, was born in Wayne County, Ohio, January 31,
1848; came with his parents to where he at present resides, and here he was
raised and educated. At nineteen years of age, he began working at the
carpenter's trade, but two years later embarked in farming, which has since been
his occupation. November 15, 1874, Miss Ella Knox became his wife, and by her he
is the father of four children—Thaddeus, Claude, Burton and Bernice. Mrs. Miller
was born at Quincy, Owen County, Ind., in July, 1857, and is a daughter of Isaac
and Nancy (Sanders) Knox. Mr. Miller is a Republican in politics, an intelligent
and enterprising citizen, and is the owner of the old Miller homestead, which
consists of 120 acres of good land.
