The time has arrived when it becomes the duty of the people of this county to perpetuate the names of their pioneers, to furnish a record of their early settlement and relate the story of their progress. In biographical history is found a power to instruct men by precedent, to enliven the mental faculties and to waft down the river of time a safe vessel in which the names and actions of the people who contributed to raise this country from its primitive state may be preserved. One of the old and prominent families of Elkhart county, Indiana is the Miller family, which has many representatives in this country. The subject of this sketch, Adam B Miller, is a son of David Y and Eva (Bainter) Miller, and the grandson of John and Esther (Miller) Miller, both of whom came originally from the Keystone State, and were early settlers of Ohio, locating in that State about 1800. To the grandparents were born fourteen children, as follows: Daniel, David, Abraham, Jacob, John, Mary, Samuel, Elizabeth, Steven, Sarah, Esther, Solomon, Catherine and Noah. All but two of these children are living and are married and have reared large families, and all but Daniel, who died in Ohio, are residents of Elkhart county. The children same to this county about 1836, and the parents followed about two years later, all settling on Elkhart Prairie, where they made their home for many years. After the children married, the father moved to Harrison township, and there he and his worthy companion passed the remainder of their days, the father dying about 1850. Both were members of the German Baptist Church, and he was a minister in the same for some time. The children developed into first class citizens, and the sons all became tillers of the soil, but some became ministers also. David Y Miller, the father of our subject, who was born in Montgomery county, Ohio, April 14, 1809, was a young man of twenty-six years when the family moved to this county, and he was reared amid the rude surroundings of pioneer life. He was married in Ohio to Miss Bainter, and was the father of four children when he settled in Indiana in 1836. He took up 160 acres of Government land in Harrison township and made his home there until a few years ago, when he went to live with a son in Clinton county, this State. He was a resident of Elkhart county for forty-five years, a minister in the German Baptist Church, and a man who had a host of warm friends. His wife was born in Montgomery county, Ohio, in 1814, and was the daughter of Fredrick and Margaret (Ruff) Bainter, both of whom were pioneers of Pennsylvania and Ohio. Mrs Bainter was a daughter of Adam Ruff, who was of German descent. The children born to Mr and Mrs Bainter were thirteen in number and named as follows: Daniel, Margaret, Eva, David, Fredrick, Andrew, Susan, Jacob, Elizabeth, Peter, Adam, Alexander and Aaron. Mrs. Miller died in Elkhart county in 1875, and was an exemplary member of the German Baptist Church. She was the mother of an old-fashioned family of fourteen children, all but one now living: Adam B. (subject); Margaret, married and resides in Olive township, this county; Daniel, a farmer of Union township; Esther, first married Benjamin Hoover, but her second marriage was to Adam Palmer, of Union township; Sarah, wife of Jacob Wise, of Harrison township; Elizabeth, wife of John Ganger, of Harrison township; Delila, wife of Moses Martin, of Harrison township; Alexander, a minister of the German Baptist Church, resides in Locke township, this county; Lydia, wife of Joseph Wise, died when twenty years of age; Susan, wife of Joseph Roose, of Elkhart county; William, married and residing in Nappanee; Eva, wife of E Eversale, of St Joseph county; Catharine, wife of Henry Roose, of Kosciusko county, and Christian, a man of a family, resides in Clinton county, Ind. Adam B Miller, the subject of this sketch, was six years old when he came to this county, for he was born in Ohio in 1830, and he was early trained to farm labor. His education was received in the district school, and he remained at home until twenty-one years of age, or until 1852, when he married Miss Catharine Davenport, afterward settling on the farm where he now lives. This farm was small at that time, but by industry and good management he has increased the original tract from year to year until he now owns 142 acres of excellent land. It was covered with timber at the time of his settlement, but he has cleared and improved it in every way. For a number of years he and his worthy wife lived in a log house, but they later built a good, comfortable residence. In connection with farming Mr Miller is engaged in raising stock, and is making a success of this industry. He is a public spirited man, a good citizen and a prosperous farmer. Mrs Miller was a daughter of Noah and Catherine (Stutsman) Davenport, early pioneers of Ohio, who came to Indiana in 1836. The father died in the county shortly afterward and the mother is deceased now also. They had born to their union seven children: Mary, David, Martin, Jacob, Susan, Noah and Catherine. Mrs Miller was the youngest. She was born March 16, 1835, and died in 1868 in full membership with the German Baptist Church. Her marriage resulted in the birth of seven children who were named as follows: Benjamin, married Miss Mary Freed and has one child, Arthur (they reside in Nappanee); Louisa became the wife of C Wisler, of Harper county, Kan, and they have one child, Bertha; Margaret married Jasper Price, and they have three children: Arthur, Harry and Ruth (they reside in Nappanee); Albert married Miss Emma Neusbaumb, who bore him five children: Clarence, Eva, Nina, Merty and Oscar, and they reside in Goshen; Eva married Amos Smeltzer, by whom she had three children: Jessie, Willard and Wilburn, and they reside in Locke township; Amanda, who died when six weeks of age, and another died when an infant. To our subject's second marriage with Miss Hannah Miller, daughter of David C Miller (see sketch), nine children were born, viz: Dora A, wife of Barton Garmin, resides on her father's farm and has two children, Luella and Chester; William F, married Nancy Newcomes, and resides in Kosciusko; Ira, a single man; Sarah, wife of George Newcomes, resides in Union township; Hattie E; John J; Warren; Adam died when ten months of age; and Julia A. The mother of these children was born in the Buckeye State June 21, 1845. Mr Miller and family attend the German Baptist Church and are good and influential people.
