Born in Somerset County, Pennsylvania, Miller moved with his family to Morrill, Kansas in 1882. He attended the public schools of Brown County, and Sabetha (Kansas) High School. He taught school from 1894 to 1899. Miller graduated from the University of Nebraska–Lincoln College of Law in 1900.[1] He was admitted to the bar in 1901 and began law practice in Kansas. He engaged in agricultural pursuits and worked as a lawyer from 1901 to 1952.
