George Macculloch Miller (May 4, 1832 – November 14, 1917), was a prominent lawyer and secretary of Cathedral of St. John the Divine .[1]
Early life [ edit ]
Portrait of Miller, 1855
George Macculloch Miller was born in 1832 in Morristown, New Jersey . He was a son of politician Jacob W. Miller and Mary Louisa Macculloch.[2] His father and J. Pierpont Morgan were directors of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad .[3] He graduated from the Burlington College in New Jersey in 1850 and later Harvard Law School .[2]
George Macculloch Miller and several others began a series of charitable collections among churches and business groups in as early as 1882.[4] In 1893, a committee was appointed "to take steps to have Hospital Saturday and Sunday observed throughout the United States." Members of the committee included Miller, Charles Lanier, Morris K.Jesup , Samuel D. Babcock , Cornelius Vanderbilt , Jesse Seligman, Jacob H. Schiff , and Charles Stewart Smith .[5] The goal of this organization was to have a second collection in churches across the United States and have the money disbursed to hospitals for assistance to indigents. This developed into a larger organization eventually becoming the United Hospital Fund .
