Miller was born in Cedar County Iowa, August 20, 1857. He accompanied his parents on their removal to Wilton Junction, Iowa, when seven years old. here he attended school and completed his education in the Blairstown Academy. He remained there for three years and then entered the State University at Iowa city, where he graduated in classical studies and law before he had attained the age of nineteen. Later admitted to the bar, he opened an office in Blairstown, and in 1878 moved to Shackelford County Texas. In Albany, the county seat, he engaged in the practice of law and in the real estate business, but after two years, his health failed and he returned to Iowa. The following year he lived in Audubon, Iowa, where for a time he practiced law in connection with Mr. Junk, and then became interested in the furniture business in connection with his brother, E. J. They successfully conducted that enterprise until 1881, when they came to Hand County. Here, in connection with his father, Henry Miller, and his brothers, E.J. and J.D., William assisted in laying out the town and established the first post office. He served as postmaster for a number of years and erected the building in which the post office stood. He also founded and edited the Hand County Press the first newspaper published in the county, and later became interested in the town site company. Subsequently, he started in journalistic work until selling Weekly Miller Gazettefor a number of years.
