WILLIAM MILLER was born in Marion
Township, Lawrence County, Ind., March 15,
1835, and is the son of JOHN and
SUSAN (TIREY) MILLER, both natives of the
"Old North State." The parents
were married there, and one of their
children was born there. In 1833 they
came to this county and located
temporary in an old log church until they
had raised a crop and erected a
cabin. The father was an influential
Democrat, a good citizen, and he and
wife were members of the Baptist
Church. The mother died in 1872, and the
father ten years later. They
were old and esteemed citizens. William was
reared on a farm, and secured
a fair education. He lived at home till
twenty-five, and then began alone
for himself. He soon had considerable
property around him, made by
industry, and has steadily increased his
worldly goods, until he now owns
180 acres of good land fairly well improved
and stocked. He is a Democrat,
and an intelligent man. In earlier life he
taught several terms of school.
His marriage with LOUSIA ISOM occurred
January 17, 1861, and to this union
the following children were born: SUSAN
F., MARY, REBECCA, CHARITY, JOHN
M., GEORGE H., TRUE and NORA. Mrs. Miller
was born in this township May
25, 1843. The family are industrious and well
respected.
