DENNIS MILLER, MILLERSVILLE.--Dennis Miller, a native of this State, was born
in 1845.  His father, Lufroy Miller, was born in 1810 and died in 1872, and
was a prosperous planter and stock raiser of this parish.  His mother was also
a native of this place.  She died in 1870.

What education Mr. Miller has acquired has been principally by observation and
private application, he never having had the facilities of a literary
education.  Mr. Miller is engaged in the dual occupation of planter and
merchant, in both of which he is very successful. He owns in this parish about
one thousand four hundred acres of land, three hundred of which he cultivates. 
He also gives special attention to stock raising.  His general mercantile
store at Millersville is well patronized and is flourishing.  Mr. Miller is a
leader in local affairs, and at present represents his ward in the police
jury.  He is also postmaster at this place, which position he has filled for
two years.
