JOHN C. MILLER, a brother of Dr. E. L. Miller, and a traveling salesman residing 
in Johnstown, Pennsylvania, was born February 18, 1854, at Friedens, Somerset 
county, Pennsylvania. He received a high-school education, and learned the trade 
of a printer, serving a full apprenticeship. He went west later, and, after 
traveling over a number of western States, came back to Centre Hall, and between 
1873 and 1879 was engaged in the drug business with his father. For eight years 
thereafter he was in the lumber business. This was followed by a year as a 
clerk, and then he embarked in the grocery business in Johnstown, continuing in 
it for about three years. Since that time he has been a traveling salesman in 
the drug business, first for the Physicians' Pharmaceutical company, of 
Jenkintown, Pennsylvania, until 1895, when they went out of business; now for a 
Frederick, Maryland, firm as before stated.
     Mr. Miller was married March 3, 1892, to Grace V. Achenbach, a daughter of 
George A. Achenbach of Loganton, Clinton county, Pennsylvania, who was a member 
of the Constitutional convention, called to amend the Constitution in 1878. He 
is a member of Sugar Valley Lodge, No. 822, I. O. O. F.
     Mr. Miller is a genial, successful business man, observing in his life the 
sound principles inculcated by his home training.
