Miller, one of the best known and highly honored citizens of Mound Prairie twp, Jasper, Iowa where he owns a farstead, having been known for farming and stock man. George Miller was born in New York state, 19 Dec 1835. He is the son of John Miller, sr. and Maria [DeGaw] Miller, natives of the state of New York, John of Albany county. They grew up and were married in thier native state, and they began farming for a liveihood, finally owning a good farm in Fulton county, New York. In 1845 they moved to Kendall county, Illinois, coming by boat over the Great Lakes, and they bought two hundred acres in that county, making their home until the father's death in 1852. John Miller, Sr. was a soldier in the war of 1812. He was a man of sterling qualities, a trpical frontiersman, hardy, brave and yet gentle in disposition. In the year 1853 Maria Miller, the mother brought her children, George W., John and Sarah, to Jasper county, Iowa, settleing in Sherman twp. Here the two sons bought two hundred and twelve acres in partnership and they lived there until 1865 when George W., of this sketch, sold out and bought eighty acres in Mound Praiaire twp. He he prospered from the first through his close application and good management, and he added to his original purchase until he now owes six hundred acres, all in Mound Prairie twp, Jasper, Iowa. When he first came to this place he found a wild county, there being only two houses within a radius of four miles, the raw prairie stretching beyond the sight in all directions. He set out treees, built bridges, erected buildings and fences and in due course of time had a model farm. He has succeeded beyound the average person as a general farmer and stock raiser. He has a commodious and pleasant home and everything about his place denotes thrift and good management. He is still active and hale for one of his age, the result of wholsome living and right thing. Political, George Miller is a Republican, but he has never sought to be a public man. George W. Miller married on 20 January 1857, to Emily Helphrey, a native of Ohio, and the daughter of Israel Helphrey, who settled in Jasper county, Iowa in 1854.
