JACOB S. MILLER, farmer; P. O. Cairo; is a son of Henry and Julia A. Miller, who were natives of Lancaster Co., Pa., and came to Stark Co. in 1820, and settled on a farm in Lake Tp., where Mr. Miller was engaged in farming and working at his trade, it being that of a stone-mason. After remaining in Lake Tp. ten years, he removed to Portage Co., where he died. He was twice married; his widow lived until 1877. Jacob S., our subject, was born in Lake Tp., Stark Co., O., in 1840. He obtained a common school education, and when 15 years of age began learning the carpenter's trade, working at the same for five years, after which he went to farming, and has been engaged in farming up to the present time. In 1880 he erected a saw-mill on his farm, and has been engaged in sawing in connection with farming. In 1860 he was united in marriage to Elizabeth, daughter of J. H. Bair, of Plain Tp., and from that marriage there were ten children, all of whom are living at home. Mr. and Mrs. Miller are members of the German Reformed Church.
