MILLER, Samuel Freeman, jurist, born in Richmond, Kentucky, 5 April. 1816. He was graduated at the medical department of Transylvania university, Kentucky, in 1838, practised for a short time, and afterward became a lawyer. He was strongly in favor of emancipation, and did much to further that cause, and, although he took no part in polities, the course of public affairs induced him to remove in 1850 from Kentucky to Iowa, where he became a leader of the Republican party. Ha was offered and declined numerous state and local offices, and devoted himself to his profession, in which he took high rank. In 1862 he was appointed by President Lincoln associate justice of the United States supreme court, which office he still (1888)occupies. He was the orator at the constitutional centennial celebration at Philadelphia on 15 September, 1887.
