"Jacob Miller, Clay County Indiana
Jacob Miller born, April 4, 1822 was seven years of age when his parents moved from Somerset county to Ohio where he was reared and educated, and for a while worked as a shoemaker. He married Margaret Vanhorn of Jefferson County, Ohio on February 3, 1948. He moved to Clay county, Indiana in 1850. There he bought land for two and one-half dollars an acre, in section 4, Harrison township. His first steps were to clear space in order to make room for the humble log cabin in which all of his children were born, and in which the family lived for a number of years. Over the years Jacob cleared the land which was heavily timbered and kept making improvements on his land. After many years of laboring with a courage and never failing-energy that helped him cope with the difficulties that arose. By dint of preservation he placed the entire tract under cultivation, set out fruit trees, and erected a substantial set of frame buildings, rendering his estate one of the best estates in the neighborhood as regards its improvements and equipment. In the sunset years of his long and useful life, he lived retired from active care on the home farm that he hewed from the wilderness, having long since given to his son its entire management.
His wife Margaret, the daughter of John and Mary (Rose) Vanhorn, natives of of Pennsylvania, and of German ancestry, died Feburary 1, 1904, leaving four children, Julia Ann (wife of Abraham Snellenberger), Leah Elizabeth (wife of George Roush), Pearson Frances Gardner, and Ellen (wife of Lewis Storm)."
