From The History of Warren County, Ohio (1882)
PETER MILLER, farmer and stone-cutter; P. O. Lebanon; was born in the Province of Bavaria, Germany, March 10, 1826, and, in July, 1850, emigrated to America. He was the third child of a family of three boys and four girls, bora to John and Christina (Rider) Miller, and the first of his family to emigrate to America. His parents are now both deceased, having both died in the old country. On the 29th of September, 1852, our subject was married, in Cincinnati, to Margaret Elizabeth Koeger, daughter of Conrad and Elizabeth (Hofman) Koeger. By this union four children were born, viz., Maggie, bora Dec. 20, 1853, now the wife of David Thompson; Kate, bora Dec. 27, 1855; Peter, bora Jan. 5, 1858, and Charles, bora April 27, 1860. Since his 16th year, Mr. Miller has been working at the trade of stonemason, and latterly as a farmer. In May, 1848, he was drafted and served six months in the royal army, after which he enlisted with the Liberty party and fought against the King. He is a hard-working, intelligent citizen, who has gained his present standing by honesty, industry and sobriety.
