General Charles Iftiller. HE story of the life of General Charles Miller, of Franklin, Pennsylvania, presents many points that are interesting, stimulating anil helpful. To his parents he is indebted for his pure blood, active mind and grand constitution, as well as for his excellent home training; but for the most of the other elements of his marked success, he alone is entitled to the credit. When a boy eleven years old his family left the little country village in Eastern France, where he was born, and settled near Buffalo, in Erie County, New York. Among the first to recognize his ability, and to foresee for him a wide sphere of influence, was Joseph C. Sibley, M. D., a friend who aided him by wise counsel and sub- stantial encouragement. Realizing from his own experience how valuable to one at the beginning of his career is the cordial interest of one of more mature years, who has learned more of life ' s lessons. General Miller has been conspicuous for his untiring devotion to the welfare of young men. Whether as teacher of a Bible Cla.ss, number- ing over six hundred, or as Superintendent of one of the largest Sunday-schools in the State in proportion to population ; or as President of a wide-awake and flourishing Young Men ' s Christian A.ssociation, whose gym- nasium is equipped with the latest and most approved scientific apparatus ; or as founder and supporter of the Miller Night School which trains young men so that they may earn a livelihood ; or as a liberal and efficient tru.slee of several well known educational institutions, among them Bucknell University since 1894, and founder of the Charles Miller Fellowship in the University of Chicago for graduates of Bucknell University ; or in the still l)roader field of .giving employment to a multitude of persons in his many works, factories and commercial under- takings. General Jliller ' s s»licilude for the prosperity of all and each of tho.se with whom he is as.sociated or con- nected is his uio.st prominent and highly appreciated characteristic. To give details of a life so packed with activities of such wide scope as General Miller ' s has been would require a volume. For the purpose of this brief sketch an abridged .sunnnary — the merest outline — must suffice. 4 • •
