He was united in marriage to Katherine Yeckel in Reichenbach, March 1, 1882. In 1885 Mr. Miller came to the U.S. with a German band and toured the country from New York to Nebraska. He settled near Marysville with his mother and 2 sisters. The following year Mrs. Miller and their oldest son, Oscar, joined him. Their home was 10 mile southwest of Marysville, and there the couple lived 23 years, when they retired, moving to Marysville. They lived there until the death of Mrs. Miller, May 7, 1935. Surviving are 2 sons, Oscar and Louis of Marysville and the daughter, Mrs. Elizabeth (Gus) Falk of Peru, Illinois. Jacob Miller/Mueller was born in Reichenbach, Germany, but that "Reichenbach" is not the "Reichenbach" in Thuringia but you'll find it in the Kaiserslautern district of Rhineland-Palatinate. And that's where Jacob and Katherine were married in 1882. That also makes sense as Katherine Yeckel (or Joeckel) was born in St. Julian, Kusel district, which is only about 15 miles from Reichenbach.
