Early life

White Burkett Miller was born on September 30, 1866, in Rhea County, Tennessee.[1][2] His uncle, Colonel T. M. Burkett, was a lawyer.[1]

Miller clerked for his uncle in Athens, Tennessee until he was admitted to the bar of McMinn County, Tennessee in 1887.[1][2] He subsequently joined the Tennessee Bar Association, the American Bar Association, and the Bar Association of the City of New York.[1]

Career

Miller joined the law firm Burkett and Miller in Dayton, Tennessee in 1889.[1] It later became known as Burkett, Miller and Mansfield.[1] Miller co-founded Burkett, Miller and Moore in Chattanooga, Tennessee in 1906 with his uncle, T. M. Burkett, and C. C. Moore.[1] By 1919, he co-founded another law firm with his sons.[1] When Linton Martin became a partner, the law firm became known as Miller, Miller and Martin.[1]

Miller held federal appointments. He was appointed special assistant to the Attorney General of the United States, George W. Wickersham, in 1909–1913.[1] He was reappointed in the same capacity in 1923, serving under Attorney General William D. Mitchell.[1] Additionally, he served as special counsel in federal lawsuits involving The Coca-Cola Company as well as the Southern cities of Raleigh, North Carolina and Savannah, Georgia.[2]

Miller served on the board of directors of the Volunteer State Life Insurance Company.[1]

Civic activities

Miller served as the chair of the Loyal Order of Moose of Tennessee.[2] He was also a member of the Dayton Lodge of the Knights of Pythias and the Elks Lodge of Chattanooga.[1]

Personal life

Miller married Mary Lua Gibson, the granddaughter of Confederate General John C. Vaughn,[3] on September 5, 1889.[1] They had two sons: Burkett Miller and Vaughn Miller.[1] They resided in Lookout Mountain, Tennessee.[2]

Miller was a member of St. Paul's Episcopal Church.[1] He was also a member of the Chattanooga Golf and Country Club.[1]

Death and legacy

Miller died on October 4, 1929, at his private residence in Lookout Mountain near Chattanooga, Tennessee.[2] His son, Burkett Miller, established the Miller Center of Public Affairs at the University of Virginia in his honor.[4] Moreover, a professorial chair at the University of Virginia, currently held by Philip D. Zelikow, is named in his honor.[5]
