Norfolk Virginian, Wed., March 20,1895 


  

Mr. Walter M. Miller, one of Norfolk’s oldest citizens, died at his home, No. 
136 Boush Street, yesterday at 12 o’clock. Mr. Miller was born in Baltimore in 
1830, and when 22 years of age came to Norfolk and engaged in the dry goods 
business. A few years later he went into business on his own account. During 
the yellow fever in 1855, he was one of the sufferers, being stricken down by 
the disease, and came near dying. 

When his health was restored he resumed business and continued till the 
breaking out of the war. He was a man of the strongest Southern proclivities, 
but owning to ill health could not  enter the Confederate service. After the 
war he was associated in business with the late Lycurgus Berkley, and later was 
of the firm of Berkley, Miller & Co. For the past twelve years he has been with 
Mears, Grandy & Taylor. Mr. Miller was scrupulously correct in all his 
dealings; correct in his words and actions; a good man who performed his duty 
well.
