The Portland Observer, Thursday, March 19, 1914
Portland people who were acquainted with Miss Mary M. Miller when she taught 
in the local schools about 25 years ago and who recently read of her success 
before the Illinois supreme court in securing a judgment of $35,000 for 
attorney fees, will be shocked to learn of her death in Chicago on Tuesday.  
While teaching in Portland Miss Miller made her home with Mr. and Mrs. James 
E. Newman.

After leaving Portland Miss Miller went to Chicago where she studied law for 
several years and was later admitted to the Illinois bar as one of the first 
women lawyers of the country.  She made a decided success of her chosen 
profession and was one of the noted women of Chicago.  For several years she 
had been active in the cause of woman suffrage.  She was born in Calhoun 
county, this state, 48 years ago.
