Henry Miller
Henry Miller was born in Germany in 1805, and came to the United States about 1834, locating first in Miami County, Ohio, where he remained until 1836, when he came to this county and located in section 12, Washington township, on the farm now owned by his son William. This farm was secured of the government in 1835. Of course all was wild in the new settlement, and their first shelter was a canvas, under an oak tree, which served until a cabin was erected. Under these circumstances it required energy of the strongest character to face and overcome the difficulties of the situation. Mr. Miller was equal to the demand, and by toil and economy acquired about 900 acres of land. He reared a family of ten children. His death occurred in 1870, and his wife died eight years later.
