When a youth Frederick Miller, Sr., learned the cooper's trade, which he followed for a livelihood until his migration to America. In his native land he was united in marriage with Sophia Christina Charlotta RASA, and in 1844,
accompanied by their family they sailed for America. embarking on a sailing-vessel at Bremen the sailed across the broad Atlantic, their destination being Galveston, Tex., but on reaching that city many reports of the
unhealthiness of the climate was heard, which caused Mr. Miller to select
another location. Going to New Orleans he made his home until the following
spring. In the meantime he met a gentleman by the name of Fink, whom he had
known in the Old World, and who was a resident of Muscatine County. Giving a
good report of Iowa he induced Mr. Miller to make his future home in this
community, so, accompanied by his family, he boarded a steamer, which landed him
at Muscatine in the spring of 1845. After a few days had passed, during which
time he was engaged in looking up a location, he purchased a farm on section 22,
Moscow Township, and continued its cultivation until his death, which occurred
in September, 1865. His wife survived her husband several years, when she was called to her final home.
They were the parents of six children, who came with them to America, and all are yet living namely:
Henry, who is a resident of Muscatine;
Christina, wife of Henry Kaufman, of Cedar County, Iowa;
Frederick,
JOHANNA who wedded Adolph GOTTBRECHT, of Muscatine;
Barney, a resident farmer of Bloomington Township; and
Charles, who is living in Muscatine County.
