Biographical History
Edward Hunting Miller was born in 1826 in Greenville, New York, and moved to California to mine for gold in January 1849; he sailed on the ship Pacific and arrived in California in August. After mining for a few months, he moved to Sacramento and opened a general store with Mark Hopkins (who he had met on his voyage to California). Miller's family in New York eventually followed him to California and he and his three brothers, Elisha, David, and Charles, started a business together in 1856. In 1862, he became the bookkeeper for the Central Pacific Railroad Company, and in 1863 he became the company's secretary. He died in Alameda, California, in December 1892.
