Nathan Lewis Miller

(October 10, 1868 – June 26, 1953) was an American lawyer and politician who

was Governor of New York from 1921 to 1922. Nathan

Miller was born on October 10, 1868, the son of Samuel Miller, a tenant farmer,

and Almira Russell Miller. He attended Groton Union School, and graduated from Cortland Normal School in 1887. He studied

law in Cortland, New York, and was admitted to the bar

in 1893. Miller entered

politics as a Republican, and started

his political career in Cortland as corporation counsel. He later moved to

corporate law, and his rise in politics was strongly helped by his relationship

with Andrew Carnegie and the United States Steel Corporation.

Miller helped to effect the mergers that created this early

mega-corporation. The merger helped Carnegie get out of the steel business and

make him the richest man in the world at the time. Miller was New York State Comptroller from 1901 to

1903, first appointed to fill the unexpired term of Erastus C.

Knight who had been elected Mayor of Buffalo, and in November 1902 elected to a full term. He

resigned the comptrollership in 1903, and was appointed to the New York Supreme Court, where he served

from 1903 to 1915. In 1904, he was designated to the Appellate Division. On

January 13, 1913, he was designated an associate judge of the New York Court of Appeals under the

amendment of 1899, but resigned from the bench on July 30, 1915. He served as

President of the New York State Bar Association

in 1920. He nominated Herbert Hoover for president at the 1920 Republican National Convention.
