For More Than Forty Years He
Filled That Humble
Position.
The Deceased Was Known and Re
spected by Many Celebrated
Lawyers-His Life.

The death briefly announced yesterday
OF John II. Miller, the octogenarian jan
itor OF the Court block, has removed an
other interesting figure long familiar to
the older portion of the legal fraternity.
He passed quietly away on Saturday last
at his own home in Selma place, his de-
cease being directly attributable to sheer
old age.
For more than forty years "Old Man"
Miller filled the humble position of ianitor
at the Court block-a three-story struc-
ture which runs from Clay to Merchant
street. near the site of the old City Hall.
In earlier days this building was occupied
almost exclusively by lawyers, though
now abandoned, with few exceptions, for
quarters more pretentious in character.
But the old Court block, even if it cannot
claim the merit of architectural magnii-
cence, has seen several generations of oc-
cupants, many of whom have achieved
distinction at the bar.
Among such were Judge S. G. Hastings,
James B. Haggin, now so celebrated on
the turf, Lloyd Tevis, '.Rube" Lloyd, that
famous old District Attorney Harry
Bylne, Judge T. w. FreeIon, Judge A. B.
Bates. J. B. FELTON, and Judge ]. B. Bald
win, whom all knew and respected Miller.
.. L. Shuch, also former occupant of
the Court block, has known Miller since
1854 and furnishes the following outline of
his career: Miller was born in Barbados
and was the son OF a Scotch captain, who
married a native of the West Indies. But
though mulatto Miller was never a
slave. He emigrated to New York in
early life and while there entered the
service OF a wealthy Carolina family,
whose plantation near Charleston he man
aged for many years. In 1851 or there
abouts he removed with his wife to San
francisco, where he resided uninterrupt-
edly until his death on Saturday. This
circumstance in itself would be sufficiently
remarkable, but the additional fact that
throughout that long period of years he
never held any other position than the
one in which he died is even more so.
Mr.. Shuck left the Court block a few
years ago and tenn mporarily lost sight OF the
old ianitor. Passing the building one day
last year he saw Miller coming out of the
door, his tall form somewhat bowed by
age but his step still active and his eye
bright. Mr.. Shuck asked him if it was
possible that he had been janitor all these
years, to which the old man replied, "Yes,
sir; and long before you knew me-" He
raised a family and accumulated little
| money and was apparently quite con-
tented with his lot in life. The gold ex-
| element OF pioneer days never communi-
Gated itself to Miller and year in and year
out he performed with strict fidelity his
! hum BILE duty and never sought Tor any
| other sphere Of activity. 1t may be safely
