Medford Mail Tribune, Medford, Oregon, Wednesday, November 29, 1939 - Obituary - Burrell W. Miller ........
Burrell W. Miller, native son of Medford, who died at his Applegate home, Saturday, October 28, 1939, age 70 years had been in the service of his government in one capacity or another, during almost his entire adult life.
Burrell was born at the home of his parents, Captain and Mrs. John S. Miller -- the former a famous pioneer Indian fighter -- near the present location of Spring street, Medford, January 29, 1869, and after attending the local public schools, entered the employ of the U. S. Geological Survey as a helper, in certain surveying work in Josephine county. It was while working there, that he spent much time with the Schoemake family living near Grants Pass. Mr. Schoemake being a close friend of the Millers, her parents and Captain Miller's parents having come to the coast in the early 50's via the covered wagon. Burrell, always industrious and kindly, would help Mrs. Schoemake with her children when he returned from his daily work and showed a particular interest in the "baby" of the family, Clara J., about 15 years his junior. This close relationship in fact ripened as the years passed on into a beautiful romance, and on the 17th of April, 1919, "baby" Schoemake became Mrs. Burrell Miller at a quiet wedding in Yreka, California.
After leaving the government geological survey, Burrell accepted a position as scaler at the Klamath Indian government reservation at Fort Klamath where he was employed for many years, engaging in various forms of outdoor work for which his hunting and mining experiences well fitted him. In fact, Burrell often remarked to his friends he had worked for Uncle Sam all his life, except when he mined for himself -- he having tramped pretty much all over southern Oregon on prospecting trips, some of which were successful and some weren't.
In 1926 Mr. Miller left the Indian service and took a position in Crater Lake national park where he was principally engaged in pine beetle eradication and other outdoor work, a position which he held steadily up to the time of his death.
A man of kindly character, rugged honesty and tireless industry, Burrell Miller was held in high regard by the officials of the U. S. Park Service, in fact by everyone who had association with him, during his active three score and ten years in southern Oregon. He leaves to mourn his loss, in addition to his immediate family -- his wife, Mrs. Burrell Miller, and daughter Mrs. Babe Agee of Denver, Colorado, two brothers, John Miller of Medford and Walter Miller of the Applegate; three granddaughters, Mrs. Gaylord Bradford, Clara May Flynn and Irene Johnson -- a host of loyal and devoted friends throughout this section of the state.
The funeral was held in Medford, Wednesday, November 1st, interment in the Griffin Creek cemetery.
