WYLIE BLOUNT MILLER.

    Wylie Blount Miller, manager of the insurance department of the Union &
Mercantile Trust Company of Little Rock and a well known figure in the insurance
circles of the state, was born in Memphis, Tennessee, July 16, 1878, and is one
of a family of five children, four sons and a daughter, of whom one son is
deceased. The parents were James Russell and Geraldine (Hill) Miller. The father
was born in Rogersville, Tennessee, in 1842, while the mother's birth occurred
in Mount Sterling, Kentucky, and they were married in Memphis, Tennessee, in
1S77. Mr. Miller served in the Confederate army during the Civil war, organizing
a company at Nashville, Tennessee, soon after the outbreak of hostilities. He
was chosen captain and served for four years in General A. S. Johnson's command.
His political endorsement was always given to the democratic party. He followed
various lines of business to the time of his death, which occurred in Saratoga,
New York, in September, 1892. His widow survives and now makes her home in
Little Rock.

    Wylie B. Miller was quite young when he became a resident of the capital
city and in private schools here he pursued his early education, while later he
attended St. Alban's College at Radford. Virginia, and for a time was a student
in the University of Virginia. After leaving the University he was engaged in
looking after his father's estate until it was settled up. In his business
career he has steadily advanced and now occupies the responsible position of
manager of the insurance department of the Union & Mercantile Trust Company.

    On the 1st of June, 1904, in Staunton, Virginia, Mr. Miller was married to
Miss Helena Hunter Spitler, who was born in Staunton, Virginia, in 1881. Mr.
Miller has always voted with the democratic party but has never been an office
seeker. During the World war he assisted the welfare committee and took active
part in promoting the Liberty Bond and Red Cross drives. He and his wife are
members of Christ Episcopal church and he also belongs to the Country Club,
through which avenue he derives much social pleasure.
