"Thomas Noonan
Miller was born August 24, 1849, in Oneida
County, New York. He died on January 14, 1930,
age 81, of pneumonia, sitting in his chair at
1304 W. State Street, Rockford, Illinois. His
wife, Arvilla Augusta Lane Miller, had hired a
nurse to take care of him, but he wouldn't go to
bed - said "pneumonia was an old man's
friend."
Thomas Miller
graduated from Beloit College in Wisconsin with a
B.A. degree in 1872. He received his M.D. degree
from Chicago Medical College (later Northwestern
University Medical School) in 1880. It was
unusual for a physician to have a college degree
before attending medical school or being
apprenticed to a practicing physician. He was a
great reader and always had a library card. He
walked or rode his bike to the library from his
home at 1304 W. State St. in
Rockford.
From the family
archives of his descendants.
Elizabeth Bails
DuVerlie, great-granddaughter."
