George MacCulloch Miller

The long life of George MacCulloch Miller was identified with a number of the most important and most cherished interests of our city. A member of our Bar since 1854, he became an authoritative practitioner in corporation law and the senior member of the firm of Miller, Peckham & Dixon, from which he retired in 1900. He was a financier and Director of Trust Companies, and still more active and influential as a director in many important railroads, and was president or vice-president of more than one of them. But he was just as active and influential in the promotion of the welfare of our hospitals and the advancement of the Episcopal Church. He had been the Secretary of St. Luke’s Hospital since 1869, and was made its President in 1890. He was one of the charter Trustees of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, and active in raising funds for the building of that future landmark of upper Manhattan. His name will stand with those of other able men whose energies have promoted the influence and power of our metropolis.
