“Bear Miller”

Published in the Waukegan Gazette, Waukegan, Illinois on Saturday, June 2, 1866

   The Reading [Pa.] Times has the following: “Bear’ Miller, an old hunter, 92 years of age, was in this city on Monday morning, having walked from Maidencreek, a distance of twelve miles. He is a resident of Huntingdon county. He wears a beard about a foot long and as white as snow. He has killed in his time 70 bears, 50 wolves, and 500 deer. Notwithstanding all this, he looks as if he might live twenty years more.”
