After mastering his trade Mr. Miller worked as a journeyman painter for several years in that part of the country extending from Toledo, Ohio, and Chicago to the Pacific Coast. He was at Ottumwa, Iowa, three years, and in 1905 he located in Marshall, opened a shop, and has ever since resided in that city. He has decorated and painted the interior of the Methodist church, the Carnegie library, city hall, the M. W. A. building, and a number of residences.
Mr. Miller was married at Montgomery,
Minnesota, October 5, 1898, to Lydia Wolf, a native of the village in which she was married. Mr. and Mrs. Miller have three children: Edna, Evelyn and Matah.
Our subject is a son of Oliver and Kate (Greenfield) Miller, who were pioneers of Nebraska, having settled at Sterling before the coming of the railroad.
