     DWIGHT F. MILLER, M. D.  With comprehensive knowledge of the basic 
principles of the science of medicine, Dr. Dwight F. Miller is now 
concentrating his energies upon the treatment of diseases of the eye, ear, 
nose and throat and in the field of his specialty has made continuous 
progress, so that Portland ranks him high in this line of endeavor. He is a 
native son of the city in which he still makes his home. He was born in 1888, 
his parents being Fred D. and Rose (Warner) Miller. The father, who is a 
native of Auburn, New York, but was reared in Red Wing, Minnesota, is a 
graduate physician now living in Portland, where he has practiced continuously 
since 1882. The mother, who was born in Indiana, is also living, and the 
family circle includes a daughter, Mrs. William Brandt.

     Dr. Dwight F. Miller passed through consecutive grades in the public 
schools until he became a pupil in the old Portland high school. Later he 
continued his studies in Pullman, Washington, and in 1909 entered the 
University Medical School, from which he was graduated with the class of 1913. 
He served as interne relief in the Multnomah County Hospital, thus gaining 
broad and valuable experience, after which he practiced for a year in his 
native city and then removed to Bend, Oregon, where he filled the position of 
city physician for a year and was also county physician of Deschutes county at 
the same time. His activities there were interrupted, however, by his service 
in the army. When the United States entered the World war he offered his 
services and became a first lieutenant of the University of Oregon Ambulance 
Company, which was assigned to the Ninety-first Division, and was on active 
duty in France, where he was promoted to a captaincy and commanded the 
University of Oregon Ambulance Company. With his return to his native country 
Dr. Miller located in Huntington, Oregon, where he was associated with the 
Union Pacific Railroad, filling the important office of district surgeon for 
five years. He afterward attended the Rush Medical College, the medical 
department of the University of Chicago, in 1925-26, pursuing a postgraduate 
course in diseases of the eye, ear, nose and throat. In 1927, he established a 
practice in Portland which is rapidly developing both in importance and in 
volume. He has studied comprehensively along his chosen line and he now has a 
teaching fellowship in the University of Oregon and in the Portland Free 
Dispensary. He is a member of the City and County Medical Society, is a 
charter member of the Kappa Sigma, is a graduate of Rush Medical College 
Postgraduate School of the Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat and is connected with the 
American Board of Oto-Laryngology, the Pacific Coast Oto-Ophthalmological 
Society and the Portland Academy of Ophthalmology. Through these associations 
he keeps abreast of all modern researches and discoveries in the line of his 
specialty and his ability is pronounced.

     In Vancouver, Washington, in 1912, Dr. Miller married Miss Minta Melcum, 
who was born in Dayton, Washington. He is a member of Roosevelt Lodge No. 187, 
A. F. & A. M., and of the Kappa Sigma Alumni Association. He retains a 
commission in the Three Hundred and Sixty-first Field Artillery and maintains 
a keen interest in the military organization of the state. Having spent 
practically his entire life in Portland, he has a wide acquaintance in this 
city and the many sterling traits of his character are indicated in the fact 
that many of his stanchest friends are those who have known him from his 
boyhood to the present time.
