Charles Miller (businessman)
Charles Miller (June 15, 1843 – December 21, 1927) was a Pennsylvania businessman, philanthropist and Major General of the Pennsylvania Army National Guard. He commanded the organization now known as the 28th Infantry Division and was a founder of the Galena-Signal Oil Company, which later became part of the Standard Oil combine, and then part of the corporations now known as Texaco and Valvoline.
==Early life==
Charles Miller was born in Oberhoffen-sur-Moder, Alsace, France on June 15, 1843. His family immigrated to the United States in 1855, settling in Boston, New York. Miller began a business career by clerking in stores and working as a sewing machine salesman.〔H. H. Smith, The World To-day, (Men who are Doing Things: Soldier, Millionaire and Philanthropist ), Volume 16, 1909, page 440〕〔Venango Citizen Press, (General Charles Miller Dead at 84 ), December 21, 1927, retrieved from Venango County History Project at PAGenWeb, June 21, 2014〕
In 1861 he joined the New York National Guard’s Company A, 74th Infantry Regiment. The unit performed guard duty along the border with Canada in Pennsylvania and New York to deter Confederate raids from the north (as happened during the St. Albans Raid). He served until the end of the Civil War, and turned down an Army commission despite having performed well on the competitive examination. Afterwards Miller remained active in the Grand Army of the Republic.〔Charles Miller, (The Creation of a Selling Organization ), lecture for the Alexander Hamilton Institute, 1914, page 3〕〔 Alfred Russell Crum, A. S. Dungan, (Romance of American Petroleum and Gas ), Volume 1, 1911, pages 267-268〕
