Lewis Miller Jr.
1796 – 1882
Lewis Miller was born in York, Pennsylvania on May 3, 1796 to Johann Ludwig (Lewis) and Katarina (Kathrine) Rothenberger Miller. He grew up in York, the eighth son and tenth child in his family. As a young boy he was educated in the German Lutheran Parochial School. He was a very bright and talented young man, absorbing everything around him, which became apparent in his later sketches and chronicles of life in York. He was apprenticed to his older brother, John, to learn the trade of carpentry. He grew up under the watchful eye of his parents and older siblings. At a very young age he was amazing in both sketches and keeping records in his journals. He completed over 2000 sketches during his lifetime. Several of his sketch books are in the safe keeping of the York County Historical Society and Virginia Historical Society at Williamsburg, Virginia.
One sketch depicts he and his brothers punishing another youth for stealing apples. In the caption on the page Lewis names his brothers as, Philip Miller, Joseph Miller, Benjamin Miller, John and little Lewis Miller. He also signed several of his sketches as Lewis jr.
In another sketch was a description of a tragic accident when his brother, David, lost his hand in an apple press accident on October 13, 1800 from which David died on October 21, 1800. He ends the chronicle on this sketch writing “Struck with compassion of sad a state”.
He also sketched scenes of the Militia in the second War of the Revolution, The War of 1812. The sketch is of the 1st Company 113 Regiment of the Pennsylvania Militia under the command of Captain William Rease consisting of 132 men. He lists the names of every member of the Company including his brothers, John Miller and Benjamin MIller.
Lewis also made trips to other places in Pennsylvania and Virginia. His earliest recorded visit to Christianburg, Virginia was in 1831 to visit his brother, Dr. Joseph Miller. His nephew Rev. Charles A. Miller, a minister in the Christ Lutheran Church was with him.
In 1832 Lewis and George Small left on a tour from York, Pennsylvania to Baltimore, Maryland through Delaware to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Jersey and onto New York City, traveling by stage, coach, and then by Steamboat.
On June 25, 1840, accompanied by Alexander Small and Henry Hertzog, he departed on the Ship Garrick, Captain A.S. Palmer, bounded for Liverpool, England arriving safely on July 16th. London, Scotland, Paris, Frankfurt, Damstadt, Heidelberg, and Worms were but a few of the places Lewis toured while in Europe while making sketches and writing descriptions of his travels. One of his trips was made to observe the newest railroad bridge across the Susquenhanna River at Wrightsville in October 1868. Written across the bottom of the sketch he states that he was accompanied by his nephew, Lewis Miller visiting from Pekin, Clark County, Washington Territory and they were there to make sketches of the bridge. This Lewis Miller was the son of Benjamin, his brother who had gone west on the Oregon Trail to settle in the North West Territory.
Lewis left on October 4, 1842 accompanied by Rev. Charles A. Miller his nephew to sketch and tour New York, the Brooklyn Navy Yard and Hoboken, a mile up the Hudson River.
He later made a trip to West Virginia going to Buckhannon where he visited another nephew, Minter Miller, staying from May 6 to May 24, 1869. This was another son of Benjamin his older brother.
Lewis spent considerable time in Christianburg, Virginia with relatives. Many of his sketches of the Christianburg area were drawn in 1856 through 1857. He also lived the last twenty years of his life in Christianburg where he died in 1882 at the age of 86. He is buried in the Craig Cemetery in Christianburg, Virginia. Lewis never married but appears to have lived a long and fruitful life.

1806 (855 Park Street NE)
Originally part of the Hans Meadow estate, Craig and Miller families were buried in this cemetery as early as 1806. Folk artist Lewis Miller’s grave is located here, his original headstone replaced following an act of vandalism. Other notable burials include Captain John Craig, grandson of James Craig, who was killed at the Battle of Chancellorsville in 1863, and John McHenry, who was killed in the Lewis-McHenry duel (1808). The cemetery has been maintained by the Montgomery Museum & Lewis Miller Regional Art Center since 1990.
