Biography

Horace Greeley, son of George and Sarah Jane (White) Miller, was born on the old Miller homestead farm in North Versailles township, Allegheny county, Pennsylvania, June 9, 1864, of the fourth generation to own and occupy it, three generations of Millers having been born there. He was educated at Point Pleasant school, and in youth aided in cultivating the farm. He learned the carpenter's trade, and all his life has followed that trade at irregular intervals, but since 1904 has devoted himself to it exclusively. He bought the interest of the other heirs of George Miller and now owns the old farm, but no longer cultivates it himself, he and his aged mother residing in the beautiful little borough of East McKeesport. He is a Republican in politics, and served as commissioner of North Versailles, when living in that township. He is a member of Tyrian Lodge, No. 612, F. and A. M., of Wilmerding, Pennsylvania; Lodge No. 136, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks; the Knights of Pythias, and Knights of Malta, the latter three McKeesport lodges. Mr. Miller is unmarried.
