Joseph Miller. Joseph Miller, one of the eminently, successful general and dairy
farmers, of Harrison township, is a man who deserves a leading place among the
representative agriculturists of Hamilton county. He was born in Harrison
township, July 26, 1872, a son of Anton and Ludwina (Steiner) Miller, both
natives of Bavaria, Germany. Anton Miller came to the United States in 1858, and
located in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he followed the saddle maker's trade for
nearly twenty-eight years. He then bought a farm in Harrison township, and
followed the agricultural business until he retired in 1906. His death occurred
July 12, 1914, and the community in which he lived lost one of its best known
and most highly esteemed citizen. Mrs. Miller is still living and resides in
Harrison, where she is loved by all her friends. Politically, Mr. Miller was a
stanch Republican and held the office of township trustee for two terms. In
religious affiliation, he was a devoted member of the St. John's Roman Catholic
church at Harrison. Ohio, and fraternally, was a member of the Grand Army of the
Republic, at Harrison, Ohio. At the outbreak of the Civil war, Mr. Miller
enlisted as a private in Company E, Ninth Ohio Volunteer Infantry, and served
until wounded at the battle of Chickamauga, when he was honorably discharged,
with the rank of first sergeant. Mr. and Mrs. Miller were the parents of ten
children: Barbara, who resides in Harrison, Ohio; Frank A., who resides in the
Hawaiian Islands, where he owns a pineapple farm; Ludwina, who is the wife of
Joseph Betscher, of Harrison township; Joseph, whose name is the caption of this
review; Mary, wife of George Gehring, of Harrison, Ohio; Peter, who married
Pauline Tell, and resides in Harrison, Ohio; Josephine, who resides in Harrison,
Ohio; Pauline, now Sister Ethelburga at St. Francis Convent, at Oldenburg, Ind.;
George, who resides in San Francisco, Cal., in the hotel business; and Sophia,
deceased. Joseph Miller received his education in the parochial schools of
Harrison, Ohio, and after completing his education, assisted his father on the
farm until 1897, when he went to California and engaged in mining. He remained
there nearly three years and then returned to Harrison, Ohio. He engaged in the
agricultural business on the homestead farm, and in 1908 purchased it outright.
He continues to be engaged there, in general and dairy farming, at the present
time, and is known throughout the township as one of its most successful
agriculturists. Politically, Mr. Miller is a stanch Republican, and has served
three terms on the school board. In religion he is a member of the St. John's
Roman Catholic church, of Harrison, Ohio, and in fraternal organization, is a
valued member of the Sons of Veterans and the Grange Mr. Miller married,
February 12, 1901, Miss Anna Warburg, a daughter of John and Anna (Wilbur)
Warburg, well-known residents of Cincinnati, Ohio. She was born in Cincinnati,
Ohio, and educated, first, for three years at St. Augustine's school in
Cincinnati, Ohio, then at St. Mary's parochial school in St. Mary's, Kansas,
where she moved, with her mother, after the death of her father, in 1884. She is
well-known in Harrison township's highest social circle and is loved and
respected by her many friends. To Mr. and Mrs. Miller have been born five
children as follows: Clinton, Ruth and Helen, who reside at home, and Frank and
Ludwina, who are deceased. In closing, we may say that the success and
prominence of Mr. Miller have been earned by diligence and integrity, and these
and other excellent qualities have served to attract to him a wide circle of
appreciative friends.
