MRS. OLIVE THORNE MILLER.
BY FLORENCE MERRIAM BAILEY.
Little more than a month after the last meeting of the A. O. U., at which greetings were sent from the Council to Mrs. Miller as the oldest living member of the Union, came the announcement of her death, on December 26, 1918. Born on June 25, 1831, she had indeed been allotted a full span, and for thirty-one of her eighty-seven years she had been associated with the American Ornithologists' Union joining four years after it was founded and being made Member in 1901 when that class was established.
Harriet Mann--for the more familiar name of Olive Thorne Miller was the pen name adopted after her marriage--was born at Auburn, New York, where her father, Seth Hunt, was a banker; but she was of New England ancestry on both sides of the family, her paternal grandfather being an importing merchant of Boston, and her great-grandfather, Captain Benjamin Mann, having organized a company during the revolution of which he was in command at Bunker Hill.
