  * Mr. John Miller, Barrister, was born at Stamford, in the Niagara district, and was a brother of Judge Miller. He was born on the 14th March, 1813, and died in Galt suddenly on the 24th November, 1868, in his 56th year. He studied under Judge Campbell, of Niagara, and was called to the Bar on the 2nd of February, 1835. During the fall of the same year, he removed to Galt, and commenced the practice of his profession. He was known far and wide, and for thirty-five years his well-known figure was seldom missed from Galt streets, either from absence or sickness..
