Severin Miller
Severin Miller was born in Prussia on October 17, 1824, the son of Bartholomew and Anna Marie Miller.[2] He was raised and educated there, and learned the machinist trade from his father. In 1846 at the age of 22, he immigrated to the United States. He landed in New York City and initially settled in Philadelphia. He moved to St. Louis, Missouri and in 1850 he moved again to Davenport. He found work as a machinist in all these places. In 1852 he purchased property on the corner of Second and Gaines Streets. He returned to St. Louis, but returned to Davenport in 1857 when he built a shop and home on the property he bought in 1852. He mainly did repair work to farm equipment. His business expanded to the manufacture of pumps and a foundry. He sold the business in 1875.
In 1862 he married Christiania Baussmann and they raised four children. He built his home on Telegraph Road in 1868 in what was then a rural area outside of the city.
