Burrell W. Miller.
Burrell W. Miller, native son
of Medford, who died at his
Applegate home, Saturday, Oc
tober 28, 1939, aged 70 years,
had been In the service of his
government in one capacity or
another, during almost his en
tire adult life,
Burrell was born at the home
of his parents, Captain and
Mrs. Jotin S. Miller the for
mer a famous pioneer Indian
fighter near the present loca
tion of Spring street, Medford,
January 29, 1889, 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 be
ing a close friend of the Mil
lers, her parents and Captain
Miller's parents having come
to the coast In the early 50's
via the covered wagon. Bur
rell, always industrious and
kindly, would help Mrs. Schoe
make with her children when
he returned from his daily work
and showed a particular Inter
est 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 ro
mance, and on the 17th of April,
1919, "baby" Shoemake became
Mrs. Burrell Miller at a quiet
wedding in Yreka, California.
After leaving the government
geological survey, Burrell se
cured a position as scaler at
the Klamath Indian government
reservation at Fort Klamath,
where he was employed for
many years, engaging in vari
ous 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 posi
tion in Crater Lake national
park where he was principally
engaged in pine beetle eradica
tion 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 in
dustry, Burrell Miller was held
in high regard by the officials
of the U. S. Park Service, in
fact by everyone who had as
sociated with him, during his
active three score and ten years
in southern Oregon. He leaves
to mourn his loss, in addition
to his immediate familv, his
wife, Mrs. Burrell W. Miller,
one daughter, Mrs. Babe Agee
of Denver, Colorado; two broth
ers. John Miller of Medford and
Walter Miller of the Applegate;
three granddaughters, Mrs. Gay
lord 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 Med
ford, Wednesday, November 1st,
interment in the Griffin Creek
cemetery.

od of fish liberation, with 10
biologists making the survey.

provide sport for out-of-state
tourists during July and Au

conservation head to direct a
fact finding body embracing
birds, fish, game and public
relations." Mr. Smith stated
"Over 24 million fish were
planted last year in Oregon,
and nobody knows what hap
pened to them. This fact-finding
body would discover what
became of the fish and set tip
plans to eliminate the loss.'
