- Biographical / Historical:
EE Miller was a flour and feed store founded by Ernest E Miller at 115 North Exchange Street in 1924; in that year Ernest brought his young family from Webster to establish a livery stable. His son Don joined the business after his return from World War 1, at which time the business was renamed EE Miller and Son. David (joining in 1975) and Ken (1978) Miller were the next owners and are the grandsons of EE Miller. Renamed in 1991 when the company adopted the True Value name, Miller’s True Value Hardware constructed a new building. Miller's True Value was closed and sold to HEP Sales on May 5th, 2018.
