Biographical Sketch of Arthur S. Miller

Arthur Scott Miller was born November 13, 1848 and spent his early years in Michigan. By 1869, he was teaching school in Bowne, Michigan. In 1873, he moved to Buffalo, New York where he worked as a court reporter. Eventually, he split his time between Buffalo and Fort Wayne, Indiana where he met and married Louise Lytle. The two lived in the boarding house Lou’s mother owned. Together they had three children, Irene, Lawrence, and Roland; Lawrence died the day of his birth. In 1880, Arthur decided that Denver, Colorado would be a good up-and-coming place to establish himself and raise his family. So he moved himself and, a few months later, his family. Unfortunately, Louise died when the children were still babies. Nevertheless, Arthur quickly built up a thriving real estate business and became a leader in Denver. Around 1900, he married Emma Combs, a member of the Round Table Literary Club and the Colorado Chapter of The Daughters of the American Revolution. Together they had two children, Victor and Marcella. Arthur was a member of the Royal Arcanum.
