Property Features
The Miner brothers, Horace and Henry, purchased one and one-half acre lots equally,. so each had three-quarters of a lot. Three years later, in 1872, they built identical houses side by side. The brothers were married to the Montague sisters, Sophrina and Luduska.
In 1867, Horace Miner went into a partnership with William Johnson in the Johnson and Miner Bookstore. Horace ran the store until 1897, when he sold it to L. Kraege. He also owned an interest in a cranberry marsh near Necedah in Juneau County.
Horace and his family lived in Berlin up until 1921, when the house was sold and had a variety of different owners. In the late 1940s, it was converted into a two family dwelling.
Earl and Dorothy Tanner moved into the house in 1959. Mr. Tanner was the manager of the Morris Mill for many years and later went into sales for the Carnation Company. He then purchased the Eskimo Comfort Leather Goods Factory. He died in 1962.
