At the annual meeting of the stockholders of the Oneida Silverware Manufacturing Company, of Oneida, held last month, C. A. Stringer, I. D. Wilkin and S. W. Moore were chosen directors. The board of directors afterward elected Mr. Moore as president, Mr. Wilkin as vice-president, and Mr. Stringer as secretary and treasurer.
George Noyes Miller, manager of the New York office of the Oneida Community, Ltd., died Monday, July 11, at his summer home at Short Beach, Conn. Mr. Miller had been ailing for several months, and his death was the result of a general break down, which followed a severe cold.
The deceased was born at Putney, Vt., Sept. 3, 1845. His father, J. R. Miller, was the first treasurer of the Oneida Community, and was the right hand man of J. H. Noyes, the founder of that institution. Mr. Miller was connected with the Community from his earliest childhood, and received his early education there. He was graduated from the scientific department of Yale University in 1872, when he received the degree of Ph.B.
After returning to the Community he was prominently identified with the management of the selling branch of the business, and started the original New York office for the sale of silver plated ware and other products. In 1875 he married Miss Anna E. Kelly, at Wallingford, Conn. The deceased was the author of several stories, prominently known among which are “The Strike of a Sex” and “Zugassent’s Discovery.” He was also the author of several books on the work and history of the Oneida Community.
Mr. Miller is survived by a widow, a son and a daughter, both of whom are artists. The remains of the deceased were cremated, Thursday, at Fresh Pond Crematory, Flushing, L. I. The ashes will be brought to Kenwood, N. Y., the original home of the concern, where they will be deposited with the remains of the deceased's forefathers.
