A Broome County Boy
Charles Miller, son of Jacob Miller of Tunnel station, went last fall to see if Horace Greenley�s advice to young men was true. He obtained work as a fireman on the Illinois-Iowa railroad. Thrown out of work by the Interstate Law taking effect. He was in Kankakee�s terrible fire, losing all but the clothes he had on. Soon after there was a position open which called for a man of good moral character, one of great responsibility and trust at the Kankakee Asylum. Leading men of the road gave him the recommendation and he now has charge of all the men and engines in the engine department nights, quite a responsibility for so young a man. But it shows plainly that good character is better than money. His many friends will wish him good luck.

MILLER, NORRIS J.�In these days of labor-saving utilities, absence of pioneer limitations and discouragements, and splendid examples of success in all departments of activity, length of years in a given community is not necessary to demonstrate a man�s working or moral fitness. The farmer, profiting by the innumerable suggestions to be found in periodicals, and demonstrated on the farms of his neighbors and in the agricultural colleges of the land, providing he have sufficient energy and good judgment, and a little capital, at once steps into the fortunate surroundings which his forefathers spent years in acquiring. This is true of many recent recruits to the farming contingent of Limestone township, among whom may be mentioned Norris J. Miller, a blacksmith by trade, by preference a farmer and dairyman, who now is service his third year as a director of school district No. 124. A native of Broome county, N.Y., Mr. Miller was born June 22, 1870 a son of Jacob and Polly M. (Carnegie) Miller. Jacob Miller was born March 20, 1827 in New York and his wife was born May 26, 1838 in Pennsylvania. The parents spent their entire active lives in New York, where the father died, February 13, 1898, aged 71 years and the mother, May 11, 1894. Jacob Miller served in the Civil war in the Twenty-seventh New York Cavalry, from 1861 to 1864. There were eight children in the family: Leroy, who died July 4, 1882 at the age of twenty-seven years; one who died in infancy; Jennie, who died at the age of three years; Albert H., a resident of Kankakee; Norris J.; Charles M., whose address is not known; Norman W., who lives in New York state; and Samuel C., of Kankakee, IL. Norris J. left the home protection at the age of twenty-one and arrived in Illinois in April, 1891. For seven years he was employed in blacksmithing, then rented and operated the farm of Adam Heil, east of Kankakee, for one year. The next four years he managed the farm of Michael Heil, west of Kankakee, engaging in farming and dairying, and in 1901 purchased his present farm of eighty acres, upon which he located the following year. Awaiting him were the results of labor on the part of former tenants, fair buildings, and modern implements, so that he has been able to devote his energies to the more scientific aspects of farming, and to the improvement of what already has been accomplished. February 14, 1892, Mr. Miller married Hattie, daughter of Peter and Hattie (Girard) Merillat, natives of Canada, and the union six children have been born: Edith, born March 3, 1894, died at the age of three days; Jennie M., born February 12, 1894; Myrtle J., born January 10, 1897; Bernice, born August 20, 1899; Florence, born March 17, 1901; and Ernest J., born October 30, 1902. Mr. And Mrs. Miller are members of the Roman Catholic church. Mr. Miller was elected a school director in 1902, and in addition to holding the office ever since, has served a year as president of the board, and one year as clerk. Young in years, strong in body, and resourceful in mind, with the advantage of a useful trade in the background, Mr. Miller would seem justified in expecting an enlargement of success from year to year, and with it the invaluable aids of greater insight, greater opportunities for well doing, and greater happiness.
