Christian Miller, the next of the hardy band of pioneers that thus pushed the verge of civilazaton on to the soil of Beaver township, came here on the 11th of June, 1853, and purchased eighty acres of land, the west half of the southwest quarter of section 34-79-31, on which he built a cabin after the fashion of all pioneers. He was not spared very long after coming here, dying on the 9th of October, 1853. He was a native of Pennsylvania, but came to this section, from Parke county, Indiana. He was married before he left the "Keystone state" to Miss Elizabeth, a daughter of Daniel and Madaline (Fry) Zech, by whom he had three children--Garrett, Elijah S. and Catherine. The widow is still living with her son Elijah.
