He worked on his father's farm when he was a young man. He studied law in Poultney and Rutland, Vermont. Miner was admitted to the bar in 1832 and began the practice of law in Wallingford. He practiced law in Wallingford from 1833 until 1836.[4]
He served as clerk of the Vermont House of Representatives from 1836 until 1838.[5] He served as a member of the Vermont House of Representatives in 1838, 1839, 1846, 1853, 1861 and from 1865 until 1868. Miner served in the Vermont Senate in 1840.[6][7]
