Dr. Millard J. Miller is the oldest-known living alumnus of Lebanon Valley College. Miller received his bachelor's degree in English from LVC in 1928, a master of divinity degree from the united Theological Seminary in 1933, and received an honorary doctor of divinity degree from LVC in 1950.
Miller was born in Weyers Cave, Va., and when he was a young boy, his grandmother came and lived with his family. His grandfather was a Civil War veteran who would tell stories of his experiences including his calvary ride with General Jeb Stuart.
While a student at LVC, Miller met his future wife, Emmeline May Shaffer '29, who was the 1929 LVC May Queen (pictured below). Miller drove an automobile to Philadelphia and purchased a dress for Emmeline from Wanamaker's Department Store with money he had saved all year.
He served as a United Brethren and then United Methodist minister for over 40 years. He retired to the Otterbein Retirement Community in Lebanon, Ohio in 1989. He was one of the founding membes of the Scribblers, an organization for writers at Otterbein. He will turn 103 this July.
