General Notes: Husband - Julius French Miller

---

He received his preparatory education in private and public schools and after his graduation from high school at Franklin, Pennsylvania, in 1901 entered Yale University. Here he prepared for the profession of law and was graduated from the Law School in 1905, taking the degree of Bachelor of Laws. In the same year he was admitted to practice in Connecticut and subsequently was admitted to the bars of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania and the United States Supreme Court at Washington, District of Columbia.
In 1907 Mr. Miller was elected secretary of the Galena-Signal Oil Company, founded by his father almost forty years earlier. This successful company over a long period supplied lubricants to a very large percentage of the railroads of the United States and Canada. At a later date he was elected treasurer of the company and an officer and director of its various foreign and domestic subsidiaries. Through a reorganization which brought into existence the Galena Oil Corporation, the foreign interests and some of the domestic subsidiaries were disposed of. He became secretary and treasurer of the successor company, the Galena Oil Corporation, and continued in these offices until 1932, when the assets and business were absorbed by the Valvoline Oil Company. Up to that time he had devoted his principal attention for a quarter of a century to his executive duties with the Galena interests, a connection which made him widely known in the oil industry, where his attainments always won him respect. He was also associated, however, with the management of other enterprises, among them the General Manifold & Printing Company at Franklin, of which he became vice-president and director. In 1932 he was elected president of this company to succeed the late Clifford Barnard, and afterward served as its executive head.
In addition to his connection with the General Manifold & Printing Company, he was vice-president, secretary and director of the Lake Erie, Franklin & Clarion Railroad Company, in whose management he was active. He was one of the organizers of the Franklin Chamber of Commerce and participated in many other community enterprises and institutions, among them the Rotary Club, of which he was president. He was also a member of the Franklin Club and the Wanango Country Club, as well as the Yale Club of New York City. He was a member and trustee of the First Baptist Church of Franklin.
