GEORGE W. MILLER, M. D.

Dr. George W. Miller, practicing medicine with ability that has brought him prominently into public notice, was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, March 18, 1870, his parents being Charles H. and Hannah C. (Combs) Miller, representatives of old families of Cincinnati. The former was a son of George C. Miller, who established his home in Cincinnati when it contained only about three thousand population. He had previously been a resident of New Jersey and came of Revolutionary stock. He established the first carriage factory west of the Allegheny mountains and his output included the first iron-tired buggy manufactured in this section of the country, the tires being forged by hand from scraps of iron. On his retirement from business at an advanced age he was succeeded by his two sons. His labors, however, were an indispensable factor in the early growth and progress of the city. He not only contributed to its industrial development but was also one of the founders of the Commercial Bank of Cincinnati and as one of the founders of the Seventh Presbyterian church was a factor in moral advancement there. His son, Charles H. Miller, father of Dr. Miller, was for some time engaged in the manufacture of plows and carriages in Cincinnati, so that the

MTLI.E1 family was long associated with industrial life. He was the father of five children.

Pursuing his education in the public schools, Dr. Miller eventually became a high school student and thus completed his literary course. Later he pursued a commercial course and in 1887 entered Pulte Medical College, from which he was graduated with the class of 1891. Dr. Miller began practice in Cincinnati and a year later was called to the chair of anatomy in Pulte Medical College, being thus identified with educational interests for two years. He has practiced continuously in Dayton since 1893, in which year he became a partner of Dr. Joseph E. Lowes. His practice has constantly increased, for he has given proof of his ability to cope with intricate problems of the profession. He is now a member of the Miami Valley Homeopathic Medical Society, the Montgomery County Homeopathic Medical Society and the Ohio State Homeopathic Medical Society.

In November, 1897, Dr. Miller was joined in wedlock, in Boston, Massachusetts, to Miss Jennie D. Tuttle, a daughter of Lucius Tuttle, president of the Boston & Maine and the Maine Central Railroads. They have two children, Mary and Ruth. In his political views Dr. Miller is a republican but not an active worker in the party ranks. He belongs to the Dayton Bicycle Club and is a member of the First Presbyterian church, in the work of which he is helpfully interested. He is also a representative of the Masonic Lodge, the Knights of Pythias and of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks and is a most genial gentleman, whose good will is manifest in deference for the opinions of others, kindliness and unfailing courtesy.
