  GEORGE MILLER, one of the old and honored residents of Grand Chute township, Outagamie county, who is now living practically retired from activities, after a long and useful life spent in agricultural pursuits, was born in Syracuse, New York, April 1, 1840, and is a son of George and Magdalena (Ehier) Miller, natives of Alsace-Lorraine, Germany. The father of Mr. Miller came to the United States when nineteen years of age, and first located in New York City, where he followed the trade of shoemaker for about twelve years, after which he came to Milwaukee, and later removed to a farm in Granville township. In the fall of 1863 he settled on the farm now owned by his son George, in Grand Chute township, on which he was engaged in farming until his death. He had a family of eight children, as follows: Fred W., a retired citizen of Grand Chute township; George; Sarah, the wife of James Maralott, residing near Oconto, a farmer; Magdalena, the wife of John Hint, a retired farmer of Buffalo county; Eliza, who resides with her sister; Hannah, wife of John Meidham, a carpenter contractor of Grand Chute township; Henry, who is deceased; and Emily, the wife of George Mosier, a resident of Hart, Michigan. George Miller attended the German schools in Milwaukee and the district schools of Grand Chute township and worked with his father until his enlistment in 1862, in Company K, Thirty-fourth Regiment, Wisconsin Volunteer Infantry, with which he served with such gallantry and faithfulness that after two months he had advanced to the rank of corporal. He was mustered out of the service at Camp Douglas, and returned to his home in Milwaukee, from whence he accompanied the family to Grand Chute township, and worked for his father until his marriage. At this time his father presented him with forty acres of unimproved land, on which he at once settled, and here was engaged in cultivating the soil until 1909, during which year he bought the old homestead. He reserved two acres for gardening for home use, and also owns twenty acres adjoining his place and forty acres in Center township. He has watched the country grow from a practically unimproved waste to a prosperous industrial and educational center, and has done his full share in bringing the present favorable condition about. Mr. Miller is a member of St. Paul's Lutheran Church, and is a Democrat in politics. On February 17, 1870, Mr. Miller was married to Miss Helen Meidham, who was born in Appleton, May 9, 1852, daughter of William and Louisa (Van Henklom) Meidham, natives of Amsterdam, Holland, and early settlers of Milwaukee, who later removed to Center township and there spent the rest of their lives. Mr. and Mrs. Miller have three children: Louisa, born May 23, 1871, married Fletcher Tyrrell, a mechanic of Menasha; Paulina, born September 19, 1873, wife of Edward Steinacher, a farmer on the old homestead; and George W., born February 8, 1881, an employe of the city of Appleton, married Emma Steinacher, who is now deceased.
