George Heinrich and Christina Miller

Georg Heinrich Müller (George H. Miller) was born in Norka, Russia  on May 23, 1856. He was the son of Friedrich Müller (born 1815) and Magdalena Loos (born 1815).

George married Christina Glanz on May 23, 1877 in Norka. Christina was the daughter of Wilhelm Glanz (born 1829) and Anna Maria Hölzer (born 1831).

George and Christina had five children in Russia.

In 1890, the family set out for America, arriving in Baltimore that year. The family soon traveled west and settled in Portland with the early Volga German pioneers.

George encouraged his niece, Sophie Hahn (née Müller) and her husband George to move from Hastings, Nebraska to Portland in 1891.

In 1900, the family was living at 880 Hendricks Avenue and George was working as a city street sweeper.

George was a singer and loved music.
​
In 1910 and 1920, the family was residing at 878 Rodney Avenue.

Christina passed away on October 23, 1918 and was buried at the Rose City Cemetery.

George died on June 19, 1936 and was buried next to Christina at the Rose City Cemetery.
