Notes - CHARLES W. MILLER, attorney, Bloomsburg, was born at Mifflinville November 20, 1844, a son of Stephen H. and Lavina (Kline) Miller. He graduated at the State normal school, Millersville, and registered in the office of William G. Hurley, of Bloomsburg, as a law student, in 1865; in 1867 was admitted to the bar, and the same year began to practice at Bloomsburg. He is a Democrat, politically, and has served Bloomsburg in the council and school board. In addition to his legal business, Mr. Miller has been identified with the various improvements in the place, one of the organizers of the Water, Gas & Steam Company, and School-Desk Company. He is secretary of the Gas Company and also a member of the Board of Trade. Mr. Miller married Miss Cora L. Eshleman, of Schuylkill County. He is a member of the Knight Templars; F. & A. M.; I. O. O. F., and of the Presbyterian Church. He is also a member of the board of directors of the State normal school and has been for twelve or fifteen years and was largely instrumental in securing the sewage and telephone system to Bloomsburg.
His grandfather, Isaac Kline, was an early settler of Columbia County; was a prominent man and served in the Pennsylvania Legislature; his son, Hiram R. Kline, was also a member of the Legislature. Abraham and Anna Charity (Kramer) Kline, the great-grandparents of Mr. J Miller, lived to be upward of ninety years of age.
They came from New Jersey up the West Branch to Milton, and then cut their way to the end of Knob Mountain. They had five sons and one daughter, and settled two miles north of Orangeville on the left; bank of Fishing creek, where they built a frame house, which was occupied by three generations of their descendants, and is still standing.
Their younger son, Isaac, the grandfather of Mr. Miller, married Mary Willitt, whose mother's maiden name was Britton. Mr. and Mrs. Kline had seven daughters and three sons, all of whom married and lived to middle age. Lavina married Stephen H. Miller, and they became the parents of our subject. Elmira married M. C. Vance, whose grand-parents, George and Martha Vance, came from Donegal, Ireland in 1804, and settled in Bloomsburg, and later moved to the banks of Fishing creek west of Orangeville.
John Vance, their eldest son, married Effie Patterson, whose parents came from Scot-Land about 1800. George Vance erected a house that is now occupied by M. C. Vance, the third generation. [1]
