MILLER Miller, Hood, Walker, Hunter, Sale #11208: County of Christian, Kentucky; Historical and Biographical. Edited by William Henry Perrin. F. A. Battey Publishing Co., Chicago and Louisville, 1884. Pembroke District. M. G. MILLER was born in Calloway County, Ky., on the 27th of December, 1841, to William and Elizabeth (Hood) Miller. His father was born in North Carolina in 1795, and when eight years of age went with his parents to Montgomery County, Tenn., where he was educated in the common schools and brought up on a farm; at twenty years of age he moved to Calloway County, Ky., being one of the first settlers of that county. He there engaged in farming on his own account, and continued the same to the time of his death, which occurred in December, 1859. His wife, and subjects mother, was born in about 1800, in Virginia, but was reared in Sumner County, Tenn. She died in Calloway County, Ky., in 1879. They were the parents of fifteen children, of whom eight boys and four girls lived to man and womanhood. M. G. Miller, our subject, spent his early life at home, assisting to till the home farm, and receiving such an education as the common schools afforded. On the 20th of July, 1861, he enlisted in Company H, of the Third Kentucky Infantry. He was engaged in the battle of Baton Rouge, and still carries a rifle-ball in his left breast which he received there. In September, 1863, he was discharged, and returned home. In 1865 he engaged in mercantile business at Hico, in his native county, and continued in that business for two years at Hico. In 1867 he went to Allensville, Todd Co., Ky., and engaged in the grocery business for one year. In 1868 he bought a farm and followed agricultural pursuits for about two years. In 1870 he went to Columbia, Tenn., and engaged in the sewing machine business, and the fall of the same year came to Pembroke, his present residence, and continued the same business until the spring of 1871, when he engaged in the drug business, buying the stock of J. L. Walker. He has since continued in trade, having added to his stock, until at the present time it contains a large and full line of drugs, dry goods, groceries, hardware, boots, shoes, and agricultural implements. His store is the largest in the town, being over one hundred feet long. He is also engaged in mercantile business at Longview and Garrettsburg, having a store at each place. He is the proprietor of the Miller House at Pembroke, and though not so large as some others of the county, its accommodations cannot be excelled. Mr. Miller was married, in 1867, to Miss Virginia daughter of Dr. L. P. and Henrietta (Hunter) Sale, of Todd County, Ky. They are the parents of the following children: Leroy P., William H., Melissa B. and Mertie G. Mr. Miller is an active member of the order A. F. & A. M., and to his credit it may be said that he has done as much, if not more, than any other one man for the improvement of the town.
