Etc., Shelbyville). Mr. Miller was born in Shelbyville, June 12, 1848. His father, Joseph C, and his mother, who was a Miss Susan J. Leniley [sic], were both Virginians, and after their marriage removed from Virginia to Missouri in about the year 1835, and settled at Palmyra. From Palmyra Mr. Joseph C. Miller removed to Shelbyville, where he died February 10, 1874. He was a cabinet maker by trade and followed this business after coming to Shelbyville, but afterwards and until his death had a cabinet and furniture store in Shelbyville. Four of the children by this marriage are still living, viz.: John W., Susan V., married to Mr. John A. Carney, who is in business with her brother, N. C, the subject of this sketch; Mary J., wife of John McLeod, resident of Iowa City, and Mr. N. C. Miller, of whom we shall now speak. Mr. Miller spent his childhood in Shelbyville, his present home, and received the advantages of a good common-school education. When 19 years old he began to learn the tinner's trade with Stewart Welker and was engaged in this occupation from 1867 to December, 1872, when he started in his present business. He has been very successful since he began business for himself. He commenced with a small stock, and has by his excellent business abilities constantly added to it until he has now a large amount on hand estimated to be worth from $4,000 to $5,000. In connection with his hardware store he employs three competent hands as tinners, who perform all kinds of work of this sort. He has at present a fine brick store, 20 x 80 feet, which he erected in 1877. Mr. Miller was married October 31, 1872. His wife was a Miss Sallie Duncan and was born in Shelbyville in February, 1853. They have four children, whose names and ages are as follows: Ella Nora, who is 10 years old ; Joseph S., who is in his eighth year; George L., who is five years of age, and Lillie Pearl, two years of age. Mrs. Miller is a member of the Methodist Church, but Mr. Miller has not as yet become a member of any denomination.
