  FREDERICK WILLIAM MILLER. One of Grand Chute township's old and honored residents, who has watched the country grow and develop during nearly half of a century, was for a long period engaged in agricultural pursuits, and now lives retired,---Frederick William Miller. Mr. Miller was born June 13, 1838, in Wayne county, New York, and is a son of George and Magdalena (Aeers) Miller, both born near Strausberg. George Miller came to America before he had attained his majority and for about twelve years was engaged in shoemaking in Wayne county, New York, where he was married, and then came west to Milwaukee, later settling on 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, where he carried on agricultural pursuits up to the time of his death. His eight children were as follows: Frederick William; George, a farmer of Grand Chute township; Sarah, who married James Maralott, a farmer near Oconto, Wisconsin; Magdalena, who married John Hint, a retired farmer of Buffalo county, Wisconsin; Eliza, who resides with her sister; Hannah, who married John Meidham, of Grand Chute township, a contracting carpenter; Henry, deceased; and Emily, the wife of George Mosier, a resident of Hart, Michigan. George Miller attended the district schools of Granville township, and resided at home until he was twenty-one years of age, when he began to work for others, principally at barrel stave making, often making as many as 1,000 in a day. He continued this for about five years, and then spent two years in a mill at Warsaw. In the fall of 1864 he came to Appleton and bought forty acres of land, on which he was engaged in farming until 1893, in which year he sold out and came to his present fifty-nine acre farm in Grand Chute township, which is now being operated by his sons, Mr. Miller's activities being limited to light gardening work. He is a Democrat in politics, and has served as chairman of the township nine years, township treasurer five years and in other township offices in the gift of the people. He holds membership in the Lutheran Church. On January 1, 1859, Mr. Miller was married to Magdalena, daughter of John and Elizabeth (Healt) Moser. She was born September 5, 1841, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, whence her parents came in 1838 from Bavaria. Mr. Moser was engaged in farming in Milwaukee county up to the time of his death in 1846, and his widow married again and continued to live on the homestead until her death in 1901. Mrs. Miller died May 23, 1910, having been the mother of fourteen children, of whom ten grew to maturity, as follows: Magdalena, who is deceased; John, a farmer of Grand Chute township; Ellen, the wife of Charles Nichols, a real estate dealer of Appleton; Lovina, the wife of Fred Lindauer, a papermaker of Little Rapids, Wisconsin; William, a farmer of Grand Chute township; Clara, the wife of Robert McCoy, a farmer of Grand Chute township; Ida, who married Gust DeTier, of Miamisburg, Ohio, a mechanic; Zadie, the wife of Frank Casha, a papermaker of Appleton; Rosana, the wife of Will Wilharm, a farmer of Grand Chute township; and Edward, who lives with his father. Mr. Miller has thirty-one grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
