Henry and Bird Miller and their daughter and husband, Dorothy and Charles Stitzel. HENRY MILLER FAMILY Henry Miller, known by his many friends as "Ikie," was born in 1875 in Biblas, Germany. After arriving in the United States, he came to St. Peter, Minn., where he attended barber college. He plied his trade in St. Louis, Mo. for two years before coming to New Rockford in 1899, lived for a while at Galesville, Wise Here he met Bird Gallup. About 1900 he came to Sheyenne. After Henry and Bird's marriage, they lived at Sheyenne in their home, the one now owned by Chuck Franks. An infant daughter died in 1910; their daughter, Dorothy, in 1926. Henry owned a barber shop and pool hall for many years. He also owned a farm five miles south of Sheyenne, the one now owned by Ivan and Myrtle Tuntland. Here the Millers kept their herd of prize Guernsey cattle. Years later and after Henry's death, Bird offered this prized herd for sale, and much to the amusement of several of her friends, each of the critters listed on the sale bill carried one of their names. Bird prized also her friends! So many of the vignettes acted out during the Bicentennial celebration at Sheyenne took place those early years either at the Miller home or at the pool hall, where the men congregated to play cards. As an example, one evening several ladies dressed in their finest congregated at the Miller home for one of their "ladies only" parties. The fellows at the pool hall, having gotten wind of these plans, attired themselves in their worst get-ups and with a black kettle of stew, crashed that party. What went on from then on remains history. Bird always thought she had lived during the greatest years. She had been born January 9, 1877 and when she died in 1970, a host of good friends were left many treasured memories.
