MILTON MILLER
MILTON MILLER, a farmer of
Castoria Township, San Joaquin County, was born in Missouri, May 18, 1826. He
was reared and educated on a farm. March 29, 1849, he started for California,
crossing the plains with ox teams and entering Sacramento Valley October 10. He
worked at the mines during 1849 and ‘50 and was quite successful. In the latter
part of 1850 he returned to Missouri, but soon crossed the plains once more to
California, making the best time that had yet been made, ninety-three days. In
1863 he purchased the ranch on which he now resides. It contains 1,232 acres,
situated on the French Camp road about eight miles from French Camp. He is one
of our most successful and extensive grain raisers.
Mr. Miller was married in Stockton to Miss
Sarah M. Maxwell. They have eight children, namely: Ida M., James H., Mary
Etta, Milton E., Jesse F., Charles A., William T. and Laurence L.
