[p. 975] representative citizen of North Beaver Township, residing on his farm of 109 acres, the old John Chambers place, situated three miles west of Moravia, was born in Taylor Township, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, December 26, 1855. His parents were Jacob and Matilda (Patterson) Miller. Jacob Miller was born in Germany, and in boyhood accompanied his father to America and to Lawrence County, Pennsylvania, where the elder Mr. Miller was one of the earliest settlers east of New Castle. He was a farmer, and his descendants have very generally chosen farming as an occupation.
Lee W. Miller attended the district schools of Taylor Township and remained there until he reached man's estate. On December 16, 1880, he married Mary Frances Chambers, who is a daughter of the late John Chambers and a sister of Thomas H. Chambers, this family being one of consequence in this section. Mr. and Mrs. Miller have three children—Maria Jane, Hugh J. and Eva. They are members of the Bethel United Presbyterian Church. Mr. Miller and his wife settled on this farm (an inheritance from her father) at the time of their marriage, and with the exception of eleven months spent in Big Beaver Township, they have since resided here. They are widely known and enjoy the esteem of many friends.
