RICHARD H. MILLER, a son of Andrew Miller, and an older brother of the
well known Dr. A. B. Miller, and Dr. A. J. Miller, was a native of LaRue
[sic] county, but was carried by his parents to Ohio county where he grew
to manhood with but a few educational advantages. He was converted in
early life, and was baptized into the fellowship of Mt. Zion church, in
Ohio county. In this church he was raised up to the ministry, and, in
1856, succeeded his brother, A. B. Miller, in its pastoral charge. He was
also pastor at Cool Spring, and, perhaps, of some churches, in Goshen
Association. He was a warm, animated preacher, and "labored with great
zeal and good success." The Lord was pleased to take him away in the
prime of life.
