Our subject has been twice married, his first union being with Martha Forhouer, a native of Germany, in 1851. After twelve years of happy wedded life her death occurred, and on the 13th of March, 1873, Mr. Miller wedded Miss Anna Schumberg, who was also a native of Germany, and who came to America in company with her mother in 1871. By the first union four children were born: Regina, Fred, Charles, and Anna. Seven children grace the second union, six of whom are living: Emma, Edward, Edith, Bertha, Lillie, and Edna. Mary died in infancy.
Mr. Miller follows the occupation of farming, and is the owner of the old homestead upon which his parents settled during the early days of the history of this county. He can well remember the wild and uncultivated condition of the country at that time, and has witnessed almost its entire growth and development. Among the leading and successful farmers of Moscow Township he stands in the front rank, and is the owner of one of the finest farms in the community, comprising over 400 acres of land. Enterprising and progressive, he has the interests of the community at heart, and exerts his influence for the advancement of any enterprise which would be of public benefit.
Frederick Miller passed away May 22, 1901.
