Walter J. Miller, capitalist and money-lender of Lamar, Mo., is a son of
John W. and Ida (Hendrickson) Miller, and was born in New York State
July 5, 1852, his father being also a native of that State, and his mother
of New Jersey.  In 1871 he came to Jasper County, Mo., where he was 
engaged in merchandising two years, then moved to Lamar, and for the past
fifteen years has been in the loan, insurance, and real estae business.
He is now, however, chiefly engaged in looking after his own property,
which consists of about 1,200 acres of well-improved farms, besides
owning some of the best business houses in the town.  He was admitted to
the bar in 1881, but has never practiced the legal profession.  In
1876 he was married to Miss Ella M. Foudray, a native of Kentucky.
