November 13, 1850, his parents, Charles and Rosanna (Myers) MILLER, being natives respectively of Frederick and Washington counties, same state. The paternal grandfather, John, was a son of the Fatherland, who emigrated to America and became a farmer in Frederick county, Md. The latter was a Lutheran in religion and a man of strong character and upright living. Charles MILLER became a farmer in young manhood, remaining in his native county for some years, but finally removing to Washington county, two miles from Sharpsburg, upon land which formed a part of the battle-ground for Famous Antietam, during which conflict the family took refuge in the cellar. In that county in 1860 his wife passed away. Later in life MILLER removed to his old home in Frederick County where he spent the remainder of his life dying there in 1868, at an advanced age.

The years of his boyhood and voting manhood were spent in his native state, his education being received in the public schools in the vicinity of his home. His first employment away from home was a clerkship in Maryland, where he remained until 1869, when he came as far west as Ogle county, Ill., and there located in Mt. Morris. He was variously employed until the 1st of November of the following year, when he set out for California, spending the winter in St. Joseph. MO., and in May 1871, completing the journey, which brought him to Yolo county. His first occupation here was on a ranch, continuing in this employment for nearly two years, when, with his brother, Frederick, he rented land in this locality and engaged in independent farming. The first of the three years in which they were thus occupied they made only their expenses, on account of the drought, but later met with better success. In the Centennial year M. MILLER returned east and in Maryland spent nine months returning at the expiration of that period to Yolo county, and with his brother purchasing four hundred and eighty acres near Knight's Landing, which he two improved and cultivated for upwards of eleven years. In 1888 H. M. MILLER sold his interest in the farm to his brother and became connected with Lowe, Myers & Co., a firm which was organized in 1868, through the purchase of the interest of E. R.

Mr. MILLER also owns a ranch of one hundred and sixty-nine acres ad-joining the company land which property is now rented.
