Miller, who had been a depot agent and a telegraph operator on the E&THR and a merchant at Inglefield, the only one left by 1889, took up the postmastership of Inglefield in March 1884. After education in Princeton (Indiana) and Philadelphia, Ingle Jr eventually became a lawyer with a practice in Evansville. He was one of the founders of the Evansville and Crawfordsville Railroad; and, having initially being a superintendent, was the president of the company for over 20 years.
