"WALTER G. MISER, Supreme Court commissioner of South Dakota, was born at Annapolis, Ohio, March 26, 1882, son of George A. and Sarah (Story) Miser. He was reared on a farm in Jefferson County, Ohio. He was graduated from Adelbert College of Western Reserve University in 1905, from Cleveland Law School in 1908, and was admitted to the Ohio bar in the same year. Judge Miser worked his way through college and law school and after graduating continued for two years in the service of the Cleveland Trust Company.
On coming to South Dakota in February, 1910, Judge Miser located on a homestead four miles south of Rapid City. In 1917 he became judge of the County Court of Pennington County. In 1919 he was made judge of the Seventh Judicial Circuit, and was twice reelected circuit judge without opposition. He resigned from the circuit bench in December, 1926, to accept the appointment offered by the Supreme Court judges of South Dakota to the office of Supreme Court commissioner. In 1929 he was reappointed. His official duties require him to be at Pierre, but he retains his legal residence at Rapid City. He is a past president of the Seventh Circuit Bar Association, vice president of the South Dakota State Bar Association. He is a Republican, a Congregationalist, a member of the Masonic fraternity and on the advisory council of Minnelusa Chapter, Order of De Molay. He is a past exalted ruler of Rapid City Lodge No. 1187, B.P.O. Elks, member of the Rapid City Lion's Club, the Pierre Kiwanis Club and the Pierre Country Club.
Soon after coming to South Dakota he joined Company I of the National Guard of South Dakota, enlisting as a private, and was promoted to the rank of captain. He had resigned about a year before the troubles on the Mexican border called the National Guard troops into Federal service in 1916, but accepted a commission as first lieutenant and served as such with the Fourth South Dakota Infantry on the border. During the World war, after his recovery from a serious illness, Judge Miser acted as instructor and lecturer on war aims before successive Student Army Training Detachments at the South Dakota School of Mines. He also served as chairman of the Pennington County Red Cross and Chairman of the Pennington County Legal Advisory Board.
On November 8, 1916, Judge Miser married Zelianna Soulé, daughter of Judge William W. and Marion (Frisbie) Soulé, of Rapid City. The three daughters born to their marriage are Marion Elizabeth, Zelianne and Jean Louise."
