- Description:
- The records within this collection are primarily focused on the business run by father and son doctors Robert E. and Harold A. Miller, who were active from about 1890 to 1949. There are a significant number of financial documents within this collection. These include several books that track private expenses of the doctors, ledgers detailing amounts charged to patients alongside dates and treatments, and thirty separate books of daily visits with accounting. There are several files of accounting material, including debts owed by patients, notices of bankruptcy, notices to creditors, settled accounts, and correspondence and commission payment receipts from Lansing's Physicians' and Dentists' Accounting Bureau. In addition, there are approximately 100 of Dr. Harold A. Miller's Physician's Birth Memorandum booklets which date from 1917 to 1949. These booklets consist of basic birth information (infant name, date and time of birth, condition at birth, etc.; parents' names, employment, place of birth, etc.), and were kept by Dr. Harold A. Miller. The early births were likely at home; in later records the hospital location was recorded. Dr. Robert Eugene Miller (1869-1939) worked as a physician in Lansing from 1890 until his death in 1939. He was born in northern New York state on February 5, 1869. He graduated from the University of Michigan Medical School in 1890. Dr. Robert Miller married his first wife on July 1, 1890 and soon moved to Lansing with her to begin practicing medicine. He was a Knight in the Knights of Pythias, among many other fraternal organization involvements, and had received honors from by state and local medical societies. He was also a steward and trustee of the Central Methodist church. He had one child, Harold, who took over his practice after his death. His first wife, Ida, died in 1923. He remarried a year later to a widow, Ethel Starr. Dr. Robert E. Miller died on March 1, 1939 and is buried at Mount Hope Cemetery in Lansing next to his two wives. Dr. Harold A. Miller (1891-1949) worked alongside his father from 1916 to 1939. Like his father, Harold Miller graduated from the University of Michigan Medical School in 1916, where he specialized in obstetrics. Dr. Harold Miller served as a captain in the Medical Corps during World War 1 in 1917 and 1918, and as as secretary of the Ingham County Sanatorium Board of Control from 1924 to 1949. He was a president of the Ingham County Social Welfare Council, a member of the Masonic Order, and a member of the Bethel Shrine, serving as an officer at one point. He married his wife Winifred Burkman in 1917. They had met at the University of Michigan where she attended nursing school. The Millers had one son, Harold Jr., and two daughters, Virginia and Marilyn. Dr. Harold A. Miller passed away March 1, 1949, one decade after his father to the day, and is buried at Mount Hope Cemetery in Lansing. This collection appears to have been an estate sale purchase by David Caterino, who then left the collection to the Capital Area District Libraries.
