 David Miller

Notes
David Miller was born m 1842 in Butler Co., Pennsylvania. He was the son of Jacob Y. Mlller and Mary Gray
Miller. His mother died in April 2, 1849, and his father remarried Ellenore Bealle in 1852.
The Jabob Y Miller family moved to Story County, Iowa in 1854. The family moved to Tama County in 1866.
However Civil War records indicate that David enlisted in Tama County into the Union Army. (He probably
traveled from Story County to Tama County to enlist). David enlisted in the Union Army on September 10, 1861
intothe l4th lowa Regiment Co G, in Tarna County, Iowa.
David was missing in action and captured dwing the Battle of Shiloh. He was a prisioner of war in Alabam4 where
he died May 27,1862, a prisoner of the Confederacy. He died about 6 weeks after being captured, it is possible that
he was wounded when captured and died from the wounds. This is not documented" it is a possiblility. I have found
a record which indicates he died in the rebel prison hospital.
