*Transcribed for genealogy purposes; I have no relation to the person(s).

Note: He was born with the surname CLARRIDGE. It would appear that he took the surname MILLER (his mother's maiden name) after the death of his parents, Nathan P. and Sarah E. MILLER CLARRIDGE, in 1898 and 1896, respectively. In the 1900 census (IA, Jefferson County, Liberty Twp.) he's listed under CLARRIDGE and his younger brother Winfred is living with him. By the time he married Lona Belle BYERS on Sept. 21, 1904, he was using MILLER for a surname, and continued to use it until his death. Sources: Federal and IA State Censuses.
