John H. MILER, tonsorial artist, Lockport; was born in Norderdeich, Germany, Nov. 1, 1854; 
till he was 14 years of age he attended school most of the time in his native country; 
about the first of June, 1868, he immigrated with the family to America, his father 
settling in Lockport, Will Co., IL; immediately after coming, John entered the employ 
of Louis BRAUM to learn the trade of barbering; he remained with him between three and 
four years. He next worked for Henry FALKENHAGEN, of Lockport, and subsequently followed 
his trade in Joliet for some months; in February. 1874, he formed a co-partnership with 
Louis BRAUM, and carried on the business in Lockport until the following September or 
October, when he bought out his partner's interest, and has since conducted the business 
alone; his shop is well located in the business part of the town, complete in all its 
appointments; he is polite and obliging, always at his post, and for an easy shave or 
anything in his line of business, we commend you to John.
