Miller was born in Monroe County, Wis., January 16, 1854, and for a couple of years lived in Marquette County, that State, when the family moved to Iowa in 1858. He is the son of A. D. and J. B. M. Miller, who were natives of Eastern Ohio, in and near Ravenna, where some of their relatives still reside. A. D. Miller's father was a German, while his mother was of English descent. He followed farming principally in early life, although he tried several other branches of business at different times. He was born in 1821. He was married, about 1843, to Miss Julia George, who was of New England parentage, and whose great-great-grandmother, on her mother's side, was one of the Mayflower pilgrims. She (Miss George) was born in 1825. In 1848 A. D. Miller moved his family to Wisconsin, then a new country, their neighbors being chiefly the Chippewa Indians, and it was among these neighbors that the subject of our sketch first saw the light. A. D. Miller, his father, was one of the California gold seekers of 1851, going "across" in an ex wagon, and coming back, poor, by the Panama Isthmus and New York. He was also one of the early settlers of Kansas, putting together the saw-mill and sawing out the cottonwood lumber for the first house in Eureka, the county seat of Greenwood County, where he died in 1881. Mrs. J. B. M. Miller died in Iowa in 1870. Henry, their son, was one of eight children, and in 1866, at the age of twelve, was apprenticed in the Excelsior printing office in Lancaster, Mo., where he worked, until in 1871 he and Mr. S. A. Dysart purchased the office. His educational advantages were very limited, being confined to the Iowa public schools till the age of twelve, and, after that time, such instruction as he could obtain from a private teacher, of evenings; he managed, however, to master the usual English branches, besides making considerable progress in German. In 1873 he purchased sole control of the Excelsior, which prospered very well under his management until 1883, when he traded it to W. M. Hunter for a stock of general merchandise, and has been engaged in the mercantile business ever since, having, however, associated himself as a partner with Mr. W. P. Murphy, in 1885. In all his business ventures Mr. Miller has been moderately successful, and the firm of Murphy & Miller does one of the most extensive businesses in the county. Mr. Miller was married, in 1875, to Miss Ella Potter, a native of Ohio, and a daughter of W.S. Potter, one of the early settlers of the Buckeye State, and who still survives at the age of eighty-one. Three children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Miller: Anna, Frank and Charles. In politics Mr. Miller is a Democrat, having been elected by that party to the office of county treasurer, in 1882, which office he filled for two years. He is also a Master Mason and a member of the A.O.U.W. History of Adair, Sullivan, Putnam and Schuyler Counties, Missouri, 1888, Goodspeed Publishing Co, Pages 1186-1187
