Shaver, F. A., Arthur P. Rose, R. F. Steele, and A. E. Adams, compilers. "An Illustrated History of Central Oregon." ("Embracing Wasco, Sherman, Gilliam, Wheeler, Crook, Lake, & Klamath Counties") Spokane, WA: Western Historical Publishing Co., 1905. p. 801. G. S. MILLER an industrious and substantial farmer of Crook county, resides one and one-half miles southwest from Lamonta. He was born in Illinois, on March 1, 1837, the son of George Miller, who was a pioneer all his life. He always lived so far out on the frontier that he was away from railroad all his days. John Miller, the paternal grandfather of our subject, was a patriot of the Revolution. Our subject received his education in his native country and in 1850 crossed the plains on horseback, driving cattle all the way. They chose a location in Linn county and at once set about stock raising and general farming, clearing their land for that purpose. Soon after landing in Linn county, however, our subject began to travel to different portions of the west and he has been engaged in the stock business in various localities all the time since. He has done much riding on the range and has experienced every phase of frontier and pioneer life. About five years since, Mr. Miller came to his present location and took a homestead, which has been the scene of his labors ' since. He also owns a ranch in Lincoln county, Washington, and has some other property. In January, 1861, Mr. Miller married Miss Walton, who was born in Ohio and crossed the plains in 1851. Her father, Ralph Walton, was a pioneer of the Pacific coast and has recently died. His widow is still living in this county. To Mr. and Mrs. Miller five children have been born, F. D., A. C., George M., Eva M., and Estella. Mr. Miller always takes an interest in political matters and has labored faithfully in many portions of the west to build up and develop the country. He is now passing his golden years in this favored region and has the esteem of those who know him. ******************* Submitted to the Oregon Bios. Project in June 2010 by Diana Smith.
