Miller, John Bradley, merchant, is one of the pioneers of Mazeppa, where
he continues to reside. On his arrival here he selected a claim, and after
securing the same, took up his residence in the village, working as a
mason and carpenter. For the past twelve years he has kept a furniture
store on First street and is doing a prosperous business. His religious
faith is represented by Universalism, and his political principles by
republicanism. Mr. Miller's paternal grandfather was a revolutionary
soldier. His father and mother, Wright and Abigail Miller, were natives of
New York, and settled in Monticello, Otsego county, where the subject of
this sketch was born, January 8, 1831. Wright Miller was a gunsmith, and
at ten years of age Bradley, as Mr. Miller is called, was set to work in
his shop when out of school. On reaching maturity he set out to earn his
livelihood, and was employed for several years as a sawyer and turner. In
1851 he married Miss Mary, a sister of W. D. Angell, whose parentage is
elsewhere given. Mrs. Miller is a native of Edmiston, New York. They have
one child, Alice, born April 13, 1859, now the wife of George D. Sandford.
