• Notes

  George D. Miller. The lover of the curious and rare is gratified the moment he enters the jewelry and workshop of this promising business man. He is an enthusiastic relic hunter and has one of the largest collections of coins I have seen for many a day. He has also a large collection of rare Indian relics, but which he is unable to properly display for want of room. In his coin collection are a number of Roman coins over two thousand years old, in fact he has money used by the ancients of all nations and many of those of the present time. One article in his shop that has a decidedly venerable appearance, is a musical clock, made in Germany over one hundred years ago. If Mr. Miller persists in his efforts to collect the rare and curious and articles of a past age, Wellesley village can soon be able to boast of having quite an extensive museum in its midst. He is also quite a hustler in the bicycle trade, and claims to handle more wheels than any other country dealer in the county. Proof of that is in the fact that he sold 44 bicycles last year and has disposed of 34 already this season. He handles the Crescent, and so far has not heard of a complaint from any purchaser. His display of watches, clocks and jewelry is large and well assorted. In the former line the display is especially good for a country village. He is also prepared to clean and repair watches and clocks on short notice. Mr. Miller has been in business here over four years. For one having commenced on a diminutive capital his success has certainly been phenomenal, when we take into consideration the extent of his present stock and patronage he is now receiving. He is a native of Wellesley, where he was born in 1871, being now in the 27th year of his age. In writing up the business of a village it is always the desire of the writer to say a word of encouragement in behalf of the young business men, and one of those deserving of such encouragement is the subject of this sketch. May he continue to enjoy prosperity. Waterloo County Chronicle, 21 Jul 1898, p. 8 ________________ GEORGE B. MILLER George B. Miller, 181 Ahrens street passed away at the K-W hospital, at 6.15 o'clock on Saturday night after an illness of four months. The deceased was born at Wellesley and was in his 63rd year.
