His father was a shoemaker by trade and at the time of the boy's birth was in the wholesale shoe business. He came to America with his wife and children when the boy Matt was a baby and settled in Portage City, Columbia county, Wisconsin, where he opened a retail shoe store; he soon died, however, and the son was placed in the hands of a guardian and taken to Caledonia, where he remained for some time. He attended the schools there until he was thirteen years old, when he enlisted in Company F, Forty-eighth Wisconsin Volunteers, as a drummer boy and served as a private until the close of the war. During this time he spent about ten months in New Mexico and Colorado in the same company and regiment, serving nearly three years. He was the youngest soldier in the regiment and is supposed to have been the youngest in the entire army. During most of that time he carried a musket, but was orderly for a while, being mustered out as such. After receiving his discharge from the army he returned to Portage City and attended the high school in that place, from which he graduated July 18, 1867. After leaving school he taught school in Columbia county, Wisconsin, until 1870, after which h removed to Butler county, Nebraska, and engaged in farming. He continued this until 1878. In 1873 he married Miss Sarah C. Whipes, a native of Perry county, Ohio, where she was brought up, and they had one daughter, Maggie M. In 1878 he commenced the study of law and was admitted to the bar in 1880, at which time he went to David City and began to practice. In 1884 he was elected to the legislature by the Democratic party and served his people so well that he was reelected in 1887. In 1891 he was appointed district judge by Governor Boyd and held this position until the next general election. He was nominated by the Bar for judge but was beaten by the Populists. Since that time he has been engaged in the general practice of law. Judge Miller is a thoroughly wide-awake man and takes an active interest in all matters pertaining to his city and county. He is a member of the I. O. O. F., A. O. U. W., and the Woodmen of the World. On another page is presented a portrait of Judge Miller. SOURCE: "Memorial and Biographical Record ....
