    Dr. R M Miller visited the county in 1849, and with his brother, L N Miller, as partner, established in 1851 a general store at Port Andrew. But Dr. Miller did not bring his family until the spring of 1852. He then settled at said place and gave his attention to the practice of medicine, which in those days was very hard on a physician, as the country was but sparsely settled and there being no roads, the making of long trips was very tedious. In 1854 his property was destroyed by fire. In 1859 he started a drug store at Boscobel, and run the same one year. He then spent one year in Canada. Returning home he assisted Capt. Rowley to recruit a company of men for the United States service, and went with them to Racine, expecting to enlist himself, but one day while driving under a leaning tree on a side-hill, his wagon slipped and so crushed his body between the wagon and tree as to fracture every rib, and he was thus unable to leave the house for one year, and when he was again able to walk about, he found that he was two and a half inches less in height than when he was injured. He again resumed practice. But in 1872 he found himself well advanced in years and in poor health, and thus retired from practice. He never took much interest in politics, although he served as justice of the peace for over twenty years, and never had a case appealed from his docket. R M Miller was born in Jefferson Co., Ohio, in 1811. His father was a native of Pennsylvania, and a contractor and builder by occupation. Mr. Miller assisted his father until nineteen years of age, then went to New Orleans. Three years later he went to Galena, Ill., where he continued the study of medicine, which he had commenced with Dr. John Watson in New Orleans, with A T Crow & John Stukle & Johnson, preceptors in Galena. He afterward opened a store at Shellsburg, where he was the first merchant of the place. He was also the first merchant at Mifflin, Iowa county. In 1837 he married Elizabeth Phlager. She was a daughter of George Phlager. She was born at Fort Snelling, Minn., in June, 1821, and was thus the first white child born in that State.

Dr. Miller has been a member of the IOOF, since 1840; he joining lodge No. 5, Galena, Ill., the second year of its organization.

    J C Wright, MD, a leading physician of Richland county, son of I J and Catherine Wright, was born in Richland county, March 19, 1859. He attended the common schools until thirteen years of age, then took a three years' course at Muscoda. He went with his parents to Tennessee, and while there took a scientific course at the Edwards Academy, at Greenville. Returning to Muscoda, he was engaged in the drug trade a short time, then roughed it in Dakota one season. He commenced the study of medicine with Dr. G F Gay as preceptor.
