ROBERT BRUCE MILLER, M. D.

     Dr. Robert Bruce Miller, engaged in the practice of medicine and surgery at
Lebanon, where his professional ability has gained him wide recognition, was
born in Cass county, Iowa, December 14, 1885, a son of Josiah E. and Jennie
(Saunders) Miller, the former a native of Pennsylvania and the latter of New
York. The father followed farming in his native state and at an early period in
the settlement of the west he went to Iowa, locating in Cass county, where he
purchased land. This he improved and developed, continuing its operation until
1901, when he came to Oregon, purchasing a tract of six hundred acres in Yamhill
county, which in the course of time, through unremitting effort and carefully
directed labor, he converted into a valuable property. In 1910, however, he gave
up the active work of the farm and removed to Amity, Oregon, where he now lives
retired in the enjoyment of a well earned rest after many years of toil. The
mother also survives.
     Robert Bruce Miller pursued his early education in the schools of Amity,
Oregon, and later was for two years a student in the Oregon Agricultural
College. He then worked in a hardware store for two years and in 1910 took up
the study of medicine at Portland in the medical school of the State University
of Oregon, from which he was graduated in 1914 with the M. D. degree. Thus well
qualified for the work of his choice he located for practice at Lebanon, where
he has continued, a liberal patronage now being accorded him. He has ever kept
thoroughly informed concerning the latest researches and discoveries of the
profession and employs the most scientific methods in the care of the sick. He
has a very high sense of professional honor and at all times conforms his
practice to the most advanced standards. In addition to his duties as a
physician the Doctor is a stockholder in the Super Shingle Company of Lebanon.
     In March, 1916, Dr. Miller was united in marriage to Miss Margaret Madigan
and they have a large circle of friends in their community. Dr. Miller's
fraternal connections are with the Masons and the Independent Order of Odd
Fellows, and he also has membership relations with the American Medical
Association and the Oregon State and Central Willamette Medical Societies and of
the last named is now serving as president, which indicates his high standing in
professional circles of the state. His political allegiance is given to the
republican party, and in religious faith he is a Presbyterian, while his wife is
a member of the Catholic church. His life is actuated by high and honorable
principles and his course has ever been directed along lines which command the
respect and confidence of his fellowmen and his colleagues and contemporaries in
the profession.
