The parents of Mr. Miller came to America from near Hamburg, Germany, and settled first near New Middletown, Mahoning County, Ohio, later lived for a few years at Orangeville, Mercer County, Pennsylvania. They had three children.
Charles D. Miller obtained his education in the public schools.

The residence is a spacious two-story frame one, set in a lawn and surrounded with beautiful shade trees. All the other buildings are of a substantial character, fully adequate for the purposes for which they were constructed. Like his late father, Mr. Miller is known as a very successful farmer.
On April 16, 1885, Mr. Miller was married to Nettie Newham, who is a daughter of John Newham, who was a railroad man of Corry, Erie County, Pennsylvania. They have had five children, namely: Alonzo John, Chauncy Dorman, Carl Alpheus, Mary Sarah and Laura Grace. The third child is deceased. Mr. Miller is a member of the Episcopal Church. He takes only a good citizen's interest in public affairs.
