MILLER, ISAAC. Is a native of Ohio, and was born May 10, 1831. At the age of seven years he, with his parents,
moved to Indiana, where they resided about seven years, and then moved to Illinois. In 1854 the subject of this
sketch, leaving his parents, settled in Iowa, where he followed farming and milling until 1864, when he came to
California. Crossing the plains with a train of emigrants, he arrived in Siskiyou County October 10th of the above
year. Here he followed farming for about two years, and then moved to Mendocino County, where he prosecuted the
same avocation six years. We next find Mr. Miller in Lassen County, engaged in stock raising. Here he remained
about five years, then returned to Mendocino County, where he spent one year. In October, 1878, he came to Lake
County, and settled on his present place, consisting of one hundred and sixty acres, located in Scotts Valley,
where he is engaged in farming. Mr. Miller married, March 18, 1852, Miss Louisa J. Weller, a native of Kentucky.
By this union they have four living children, Elizabeth R, John H., Mary F. and Minerva J. They have lost five.
