Taken from Mr. G. [Graves] Miller

Mr. Miller was born in Texas Nov. 23, 1859, in Grayson Co., where Denison now is. His father came to Texas in 1839 and settled where he now lives and owned 640 acres, which is now about 1/6 of Denison's residence portion. He lives where he first settled, and the old homestead [is] still there. Mr. J.K. Miller, Mr. G. Miller's father, had 12 children, all who are still living in their native State.

Mr. Miller was [the] sixth child in the family, and when old enough followed in his father's footsteps, farming and fruit growing, remaining in this business until 1883, when he engaged in the Real Estate business—which he now is in, doing a General Real Estate, Brokerage, Insurance, and Abstract of Title business. Mr. Miller is handling his additions to Denison, more than any other property. Known as Miller's Addition No. 1 and No. 2.

Was married in Texas to Miss Ringo in 1881. Have a family of two (2) girls and one (1) boy. Permanently located.
