STERLING A. MILLER.
    Sterling A. Miller, attorney-at-law, practicing at Pine Bluff, was born near
Paris, Tennessee, in 1864, and is a representative of an old southern family.
His great-grandfather removed from Virginia to South Carolina, and in the latter
state Henry Miller, the grandfather, was born. He married a Miss Travis and they
removed to Tennessee. The Millers, however, originally came from the Isle of
Wight. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Miller were the parents of A. C. Miller, who was born
in Henry county, Tennessee, and who served with the Confederate army, being on
duty as a member of Captain Johnson's company of a Tennessee regiment. He wedded
Virginia Pritchett, also a native of Henry county, Tennessee, and they became
parents of three children: Sterling A., Dr. A. H. Miller and J. P. Miller.

    The public school system of Tennessee afforded Sterling A. Miller his early
educational opportunities, and later he took up the study of law, while in early
manhood he also engaged for a time in the dry goods business. He entered upon
the active practice of law at Paris, Tennessee, in 1886, and remained a member
of the bar of that state until 1894, when he came to Arkansas, settling first at
Wynne. In 1896 he removed to Pine Bluff, where he has since followed bis
profession and with the passing years he has enjoyed a good practice of a
distinctively representative character. He tries all kinds of cases and tries
them well, and his reputation as a lawyer has been won through earnest, honest
labor, while his standing at the bar is a merited tribute to his ability.

    In 1888 Mr. Miller was united in marriage to Miss Anna Ezell of Martin,
Tennessee, and they became parents of a son, Harry E., who is now engaged in the
lumber business at Pine Bluff. For his second wife Mr. Miller chose Anna Haynes
of Stuttgart, Arkansas. He belongs to the Methodist Episcopal church and his
religions faith has guided him in all the relations of life. His political
allegiance has always been given to the democratic party, and he has been called
to fill various important offices. He served for four terms as a member of the
state legislature, having been elected in 1905, in 1909, in 1913 and again in
1921, so that he is the incumbent in the office. He was elected municipal judge
of Pine Bluff in 1922, and his record as a legislator and as a judge is in
harmony with his record as a lawyer and as a citizen, being characterized by a
masterful grasp of every problem presented for solution and by marked devotion
to the general good.
