Note | Benedict Miller Biography This biography is from "Memorial and biographical record; an Illustrated compendium of biography, containing a compendium of local biography, including biographical sketches of prominent old settlers and representative citizens of South Dakota..." Published by G. A. Ogle & Co., Chicago, 1898. Pages 443-444 BENEDICT MILLER, of Grovena township, is one of the well-known and
successful farmers of Moody county. He is a native of Switzerland, born
October 21, 1842, a son of Benedict and Magdalena (Schenk) Miller. Our subject was educated and grew to thirteen years of age in Switzerland. He then moved to America with his parents and aided his father in clearing and subduing a timber farm in Iowa, and worked at hauling wood in winter, and at the age of twenty-one began life for himself. During the Civil war he followed the army for a time, but not as a soldier, and subsequently worked on a steamboat on the Mississippi river. In 1863 Mr. Miller was united in marriage to Miss Elizabeth Isely, a native of Switzerland, and daughter of Jacob and Ann (Marty) Isely, who came to America in 1846 and located in New Philadelphia, Ohio, where they lived seven years. The mother died in 1852, and the family then moved to Fayette county, Iowa, where the father died in 1885. Mrs. Miller was born March 30, 1845. From Iowa, Mr. and Mrs. Miller moved in January, 1867, to Green county,
Wisconsin, where he followed farming and cheese-making until the spring
of 1882, when he came to Dakota and settled on the farm on which he
still resides. A small house had been erected on the farm he bought
and sixty acres had been broken, and Mr. Miller at once began farming,
at which he has since been very successful. At one time he owned one
thousand six hundred acres of farm land which he has apportioned among
his children. In addition to farming Mr. Miller has given special
attention to stock raising, and has a fine line of high grade stock. Mr. and Mrs. Miller are the happy parents of a bright and interesting family of eight children, as follows: Rosina E. Waxdahl, Matilda Kohler, Christian B., John W., Charles F., Edmond J., Emma M. and Otto P. The parents are members of the German Reformed church, but attend the Methodist church. |
