Hi Ginny, I had a chance to look through the Altoona book this afternoon and this is what I've found... Reuben Miller owned a hotel (or boarding house) by the name of the "Miller House" from 1886 through 1908, or at least that is the last mention of it. There was no Miller House as of 1911. In 1913 a Jesse Miller established an ice dealership and in 1915 he expanded his ice dealership to include a team of horses that he use for hauling and road work. This business ran through 1917. In 1918 only the ice business was mentions and as late as 1926 he was still selling ice and hauling. Then in 1928 Harry Miller had a draying, ice and coal business that ran through 1930 (last mention that I could find). Also, there was an Assistant Fire Chief by the name of Lyman Miller that led the fight to save the school building when it burned on the morning of 31 Oct 1951. He remained assistant fire chief through 8 Feb. 1968. Hope some of this helps.! -- Nance mailto:nsampson@spacestar.net
