One of the most patriotic old soldiers of the Twenty-seventh General Assembly will be the Hon. Thomas B. Miller, of Stanwood, Cedar county. Mr. Miller was born in Holmes county, Ohio, June 9, 1841. He has been a resident of Iowa since July, 1865. His marriage to Miss Letitia A. Corn was early in the year 1868. To them there have been born five children, of whom four are living; Harlan, Harry, Arthur and Luella. Mr. and Mrs. Miller are surrounded by the four children, who live at home and assist them in the duties of their extensive farm and stock raising and shipping business. Soon after the war broke out, Mr. Miller enlisted as a private with the Ohio volunteer infantry, and served with that regiment about a year. He was then transferred to the First Wisconsin battery, with which regiment he was in much of the most active service of the war. He helped dig the canal at Vicksburg, under Grant's instructions, the task taking forty-seven days. His memories of his service for his country are among the pleasantest of his entire life. Mr. Miller was raised on a farm in his native state, and until the war broke out was engaged in that avocation, together with logging and work of the pioneer days. His education has been obtained from the good school of experience. He is a life-long republican, and was urged to accept the nomination to the house from his many personal and political friends. Mr. Miller is identified with the G. A. R., Loyal Legion of Honor, Modern Woodmen, and M. B. A. He belongs to no church, but is charitable to all.
