Robert Miller


Robert Miller - This old pioneer, now seventy-six years of age, was born in Bradford County, Pennsylvania, October 26,1805, where he resided until he was seventeen years of age. He then moved to Ohio, and remained in that State about fifteen years, and then moved to Iowa, staying in the latter State until April 5,1853. He then, with his family, and with ox-teams, crossed the plains to California, and first settled in Plumas County, staying there one winter. They then came from Plumas County to Napa Valley, and remained one year. He then proceeded to Lake County, and became proprietor of the Siegler Springs, remaining in that place for nine years. In the fall of 1863 he came to Napa County and located on his present ranch of one hundred and forty-five acres, three miles north of Calistoga.
