MR. PRESIDENT: Your committee, appointed to prepare suitable resolutions commemorating the life, character and public service of the late Honorable Henry Delbert Miller, begs leave to submit the following:
Henry Delbert Miller, stockman, merchant and legislator, died August 26, 1945, at the family home near Morley, Iowa, where he had resided since his birth on January 7, 1867. He was engaged extensively as a breeder of black Angus cattle, and for many years as a grain dealer, merchant and banker at Morley, Iowa. At one time he conducted an automobile distributor business at Cedar Rapids where he attained the distinction of being the only man or firm who shipped autos by the trainload into the state of Iowa.
Mr. Miller served as State Senator from the Jones-Cedar county district from 1933 to 1939. He is survived by his wife and daughter.
In the passing of Senator Miller, Iowa has lost a distinguished citizen whose life symbolized integrity and honesty in affairs of the state.
