Richard Miller, farmer and stock raiser, of Piney Township, Pulaski
County, MO., was born in Baden, Germany, in 1832, and is the son of
Joseph and Josephine (Whachter) Miller, who were born in 1797 and
1807, and died in 1857 and 1860, respectively.  The father was a
blacksmith and farmer, and he and wife were the parents of four
children.  Richard immigrated to Canada in 1852, and at the end of
two years removed to Davis County, Ill., and a year later located
in Douglas County, KS.  About four years later he went to New Orleans,
LA., where he spent two years as a cook on a steamer.  His next move
was to Franklin County, MO., and after a residence of seven years in
that county he came to Pulaski County, where he has since made his
home.  In 1862 he was married to Miss Julia Kelly, who was born in
Franklin County, MO. in 1844.  She is the daughter of Peter and 
Bridget Kelly, and is of Irish descent, and the mother of four child-
ren.  Mr. Miller has an excellent farm of 336 acres, and has 200 
acres in a good state of cultivation, and ships one car load of 
cattle and hogs per year.  He is a Republican in politics.  Both he
and his wife are members of the Catholic Church.
