Stephen Miller, Esq. |
| was born on 25th January, 1809, in York State.
When very young he removed
with his father to Mount Pleasant, County of Brant, where in 1832 he married Miss Eunice
Boomer, who still lives. For a time he lived in the Township of Yarmouth, but settled in
Windham in 1837. Mr. Miller's family was numerous, consisting of six sons and six
daughters -- of these Stephen and Joseph still reside in the Township.
Ruth is the wife of
John Dale, Esq., of Windham, and Sarah Ann the wife off Aaron Beam, Esq., J.P. Mr. Miller was distinguished as a prominent supporter of the Baptist Church. In 1850 he was baptised and received into full connection with the Windham Baptist Church by Rev. H. Davidson, then its pastor. Soon after this the second Windham (Teeterville) Church as organized, and Mr. Miller was, with the late Philip Hagerman, appointed to the deaconship, which office he filled until his death. He was very liberal in promoting the success of all religious enterprises, and was very kind to the poor, and to the preachers of the gospel. His house has long been known as the home of the ministers. Mr. Miller reached the good old age of 68, and retained his health very well up to within a few years of his death, which took place on the 15th March, 1877. His death is felt as a very severe loss both by his family and his neighbours, as he was a man so good, so kind, and so universally respected, that his place in society and in the church will long remain unfilled. |
