The Seventh Regiment of RI Volunteers in the Civil War, 1862 - 1865 by William P. Hopkins, Snow & Farmham Printers, Providence, RI, 1903, p. 403:
BENJAMIN F. MILLER. Sergeant Benjamin Franklin Miller, son of John N. and Betsey Pratt Miller, was born in Bristol, Dec. 4, 1838. He had a sister and one brother, William A., of the Fourth Rhode Island Infantry, who died March 30, 1862, at Roanoke Island. Benjamin was educated in the common schools and Bristol Academy. Prior to enlistment he was a carpenter by occupation. While employed at Pawtucket he became acquainted with and married Mary Aeline Aldrich, of that village, Aug. 5, 1858. He was slightly wounded at Fredericksbug, Dec. 13, 1862, and severely in the hip at Bethesda Church, June 3, 1864, which necessitated his removal to the Harewood General Hospital, Washington, D.C., whence he was discharged May 25, 1865, on surgeon's certificate. He now found himself unable to work at his trade, but, thanks to his early education, he secured a position as bookkeeper, which he retained until his death. This occurred Nov. 11, 1866, at South Providence, and was the direct result of his last wound.
