R. ALLISON MILLER
Huntingdon, Pa.

Master Plumber:  He was born in Huntingdon, Pa., January 1, 1885, a son 
of Harry E. Miller, deceased, and Mary B. Miller, now living in 
Huntingdon, Pa.  R. Allison Miller comes from the oldest and earliest 
settlers of Huntingdon.  Their names and deeds have given a foundation 
stock that will ever live and their forebears have lived up to 
traditions set by their forefathers.  R. Allison Miller received his 
preliminary education at the First Ward schools of Huntingdon - a 
diligent student.  He early in life took up the plumbing business, and 
in order to advance his knowledge along this line he attended the New 
York Trade School; he finished the prescribed course and received his 
degree of M.S.  In 1904 he established himself in the plumbing business 
at Huntingdon, Pa.. From the beginning he has met with success.  He has 
injected new ideas into this important business, and at his office and 
salesroom are found the latest, neatest and best selections of sanitary 
and heating supplies.  He has done some notable work in Huntingdon and 
surrounding country; no job is too large and none too small.  He is at 
all times ready to give plans, estimates, and specifications on work of 
this character.  He employs competent, skilled mechanics; repairing and 
new work are special features that receive first consideration.  Since 
he has taken on the exclusive agency for "Torrid Heat" oil heating 
appliances, many are the homes in which this system has been installed.  
R. Allison Miller was married to Dora Adams, of Smithfield Township; 
both are members of the Presbyterian church.  He had one brother Clyde; 
died at the age of twenty-five years; one sister, Elizabeth, at home.  
Mr. Miller belongs to the F. & A.M., Mt. Moriah Lodge No. 300; a 
Shriner, Altoona, Pa., and all other Masonic bodies, and is also a 
Rotarian.  He is Secretary of the Master Plumbers of Juniata Valley 
group.  His residence is at 225 Washington street and office at 524 
Penn Street, Huntingdon, Pa.
