HENRY MILLER was born in Lower Windsor Township June 10, 1823.  His parents were 
Henry and Magdalena (Smith) Miller, of Lower Windsor Township, who had six 
children, of whom our subject is the youngest.  He was reared and educated in the 
same township, and at eighteen years of age he began learning the carpenter’s 
trade with his brother, George Miller, with whom he remained two years.  He 
followed his trade for twenty-five years, and then began farming in Lower Windsor 
Township which he continued four years, and then commenced building panel fences, 
at which he is still engaged.  In 1883 he came to Hellam Township and purchased a 
small farm, and engaged in the manufacture of cigars, a business he had 
previously conducted in connection with his other enterprises, having now an 
experience therein of about twenty years.  His present output is about 300,000 
per year.  He was married to Catherine Dellinger, and has had five children, 
three of whom are living.  He and family are member of the Lutheran Church.
