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.
