​Conrad William Miller

Konrad Wilhelm Müller (Conrad William Miller) was born in Norka. The Descendant Chart prepared by Igor Pleve says his date of birth was June 19, 1867, but he believed that his birth date was May 27, 1866. He immigrated to the United States in 1876 with his parents and eight brothers and sisters. His father, Johannes Mueller (John "R" Miller) was a descendent of original Norka colonist Ernst Mueller. Conrad lived in Illinois, Nebraska and Kansas before settling in Oklahoma after participating in the 1892 Land Run for the Cheyenne and Arapaho territory. Conrad's wife, Mary Katherine Lorenz, was also a Volga German, born in the Alt-Messer colony. They were married in Ramona, Kansas in 1888.
