CHARLES MILLER (1885), who farms the north half of section 4, Stanley township, has lived in Lyon county since he was a child. He is the son of William and Hulda (Mueller) Miller. The former was born in Wisconsin August 7, 1852, and is now engaged in farming in Lake Marshall township. The mother was born August 16, 1856, and died August 25, 1895.
Charles Miller was born in Wisconsin August 19, 1879. He came to Lyon county with his parents in 1885 and until he was sixteen years of age lived with them and attended school. He was handy with machinery and when only fourteen years of age began to work with engines. Two years later he was granted an engineer's license and became the youngest man in Minnesota to hold such license. During the next ten years he operated engines exclusively. Then he began farming and has been so engaged ever since.
