John N. Miller is an honored veteran of the Civil war and has ever been a public-spirited citizen. He now occupies a commodious and attractive home in the northwestern part of Ashland, where he has lived since 1893, in which year he retired from active farm life after devoting an extended period to general agricultural pursuits. He was born in Kosciusko county, Indiana, in April, 1841, a son of James and Mary (Baker) Miller, who were natives of Ohio.
The father was a farmer by occupation and went to Indiana at an early day, after which he engaged in farming for several years in that state. Later he removed to Minnesota, purchased land and continued its cultivation until 1871, when he came to Nebraska, settling in Saunders county. Here he again invested in farm land and devoted his remaining days to its cultivation but was not long permitted to enjoy his new home, for his death occurred in 1874. Ten years passed and his widow was called to her final rest in 1884.
John N. Miller was reared in Indiana and Minnesota and is indebted to its public-school system for the educational privileges which he enjoyed and which prepared him for life's practical and responsible duties. He gave his father the benefit of his assistance on the home farm until he reached the age of twenty-seven years but in the meantime he had manifested his loyalty to his country by active aid to the Union army on southern battlefields. He enlisted in 1864 as a member of Company B, Seventh Minnesota Infantry, and with that command remained until the close of the war. He then returned to Minnesota and carried on farming there for eight or ten years, at the end of which time he came to Saunders county and bought land in Green precinct.
Throughout a period of twenty years he gave his attention to the work of improving and developing his fields and the results of his labors were very substantial as he annually gathered large crops that brought to him a gratifying income. In 1898 he retired and removed to Ashland and erected a fine home in the northwestern part of the town and there he is enjoying in most pleasant surroundings a well earned rest. When upon the farm he made a specialty of raising thoroughbred horses, handling the Clydesdale stock.
In November, 1871, Mr. Miller was united in marriage to Miss Mary La Bare, a daughter of John and Miranda (Dunham) La Bare, the former a native of Canada and the latter of Vermont. Her father also followed the occupation of farming in Ohio and at an early period in the development of Minnesota removed to that state, where his remaining days were passed, his death occurring in 1895. For fifteen years he had survived his wife, who died in 1880. Mr. and Mrs. Miller have become the parents of two children: Jesse, who is cultivating his father's farm in Green precinct; and Ira, who is also engaged in farming in the same precinct.
In politics Mr. Miller is an earnest republican, giving stalwart support to the men and measures of the party, and he has served on the town council, in which connection he has exercised his official prerogatives in support of various measures for the general good. He belongs to the Masonic fraternity and through his membership in the Grand Army post renews his comradeship with his old associates of military days. His religious faith is that of the Christian church and his life has ever been guided by high and honorable principles, which have given him a place among the substantial citizens of Saunders county, men whose enterprise, public spirit and moral worth have gained for them the highest regard.
