Samuel H. Miller, born 5 Jan 1862, died 28 Feb 1928, was a leader of the Walnut Creek, Ohio, Amish Mennonite Church in the early 20th century and remembered for serving a jail term as editor of the Sugarcreek, Ohio, Amish and Mennonite newspaper The Budget. He was the son of Moses D. Miller (25 May 1807 - 9 May 1886) and Barbara Hage (27 Feb 1823 - 12 Aug 1883), a Reformed Church family. On 10 Dec 1882 he married his first wife Margaret Ruefenacht (26 Sep 1864 - 6 Feb 1891), also of the Reformed faith; they had six children. On 24Sep1893 Miller married Malinda Mast (17 Jan 1866 - 1 Sep 1931), the youngest daughter of the Holmes County Amish Mennonite Minister Abraham Mast. He had another nine children from his second marriage. Miller joined the Amish Mennonite congregation and by 7 Nov 1897 was ordained to the ministry at Walnut Creek; he also became active in the Eastern Amish Mennonite Conference as an evangelist. Miller served on the first publication board the (Old) Mennonite Church which was formed in 1908.
Samuel (often called "S. H.") Miller was editor of The Budget from April 1912 to March 1920, during the difficult years of World War I. The Budget published letters from correspondents or scribes, many encouraging the Amish and Mennonites to be faithful to the church’s historic peace teachings. One letter by preacher Manasses Bontrager (15 May 1918, p. 3) discouraged readers from buying Liberty Bonds which the United States government had issued to help pay for the war effort. For this publication, a grand jury in Cleveland, Ohio, issued a five-count indictment against editor S. H. Miller which included charges that he had published a letter which "attempted to cause or incite insubordination, disloyalty, mutiny and refusal of duty in the military and naval forces of the United States." At his trial on 17 Aug 1918, Miller pled guilty to this one charge (the others were dropped); he was fined $500, asked to pay $145.93 for the court costs. Unable to pay, Miller spent several days in jail until a cousin paid the fine. Miller is buried in the Walnut Creek Mennonite Cemetery.

He was united in marriage to Margaret Rufenacht, Dec. 14, 1882, to which union were born 4 sons and 2 daughters. This union was severed when death claimed his companion on Feb. 6, 1891. On Sept. 24, 1893, he was married to Malinda Mast and to this union were born 4 sons and 5 daughters, 2 sons and one daughter preceded him in death. He leaves to mourn his departure his wife, 12 children: (John S., of Sugar Creek; Mrs. Wilmer Beachy, of Millersburg; George S., of Milford, Nebr.; Mrs. Sanford Stutzman, of Hiram, O.; Arthur, of Wooster, O.; Vernon, of Aurora, O.; Mrs. Lloyd Mishler, of Sugar Creek, O.; Mrs. Gordon Cheasley, of East Orange, N.J.; Pauline, of Cleveland, O.; Titus, Samuel, and Grace, at home), one brother, Jacob M., of Millersburg, O., 27 grandchildren, besides many other relatives and friends. In his youthful days he gave his heart to the Lord and united with the Amish Mennonite Church at Walnut Creek where he was always recognized as a pillar until he was called higher. In the spring of 1896 Bro. Miller was ordained to the ministry at Walnut Creek and during the intervening years he faithfully proclaimed God's Word, not only in his home church, but his voice was lifted in no uncertain sound in many pulpits in this as well as in other states. For several years he with other ministers of the Gospel established a church near Aurora, Ohio. During the last years of his life he was stricken with heart disease and dropsy, and because of these afflictions he had to sit on a chair or bed day and night until death come to his relief. He suffered very much during all this time, but surely endured it all to the honor and glory of God, which was manifested by his beautiful prayers at night when he could not sleep. He patiently endured all, longing for the time when he should see his Redeemer. Funeral services were held at the Walnut Creek A.M. Church, conducted by E.B. Stoltzfus, J.S. Gerig, Edward Shepfer, and Alvin W. Miller. Texts, Job 14:14; II Tim. 4:6-8.
