William Miller was married to Ann Cline in 1831. After his marriage, he located in the vicinity of Mason, where he followed the blacksmith's trade for nearly a score of years, after which he went into the mercantile business in Mason, which he followed for some time. At present, he resides in Dayton, Ohio, and is engaged in the real estate business. To them were born twelve children, of whom nine are living, viz., Alonzo, Bainbridge, Melvina, Josephine, Pauline, Inez, Taylor, William and Louisa; the deceased are Melissa, William and Laura. Mr. M., while living in Mason, was Justice of the Peace for nine years. Mrs. M. is a daughter of Frederick and Hannah Ann Cline, pioneers, of whom mention is made in the sketch of Fred Cline in this work. Our subject's early life was passed in Deerfield Township, and in the district schools he received his education. In the fall of 1861, he enlisted in the 50th O. V. I., commissioned a 2d Lieutenant, and was mustered in 1st Lieutenant of Company B, 61st O. V. I. The regiment was transferred to Virginia, where he followed the fortunes of the same, participating in all the engagements; after the battle of Cedar Creek, in 1862, he returned to his home, and, on account of inability, resigned his commission. From then until 1880, he was a contractor, since when he has been engaged with the “Wood Twine-Binder Company," as an expert manipulator of that machine. In 1854, he was married to Louisa J. Cox, who has borne him five children, four of whom are living, viz., Charles, Frank, Edna and Inez; William, the eldest, deceased. Mr. M. has always taken considerable interest in political matters as an organizer, and has always harmonized with the Republican party. |
