She Is the Regent for the District
of Columbia

Miss Virginia Miller, the regent for the
District OF Columbia, is in very truth a
District woman, born and reared as she
was in this city. Still, it is a matter of
pride with her that almost as far back rs
the history OF Virginia goes, she can trace
her ancestors, who were closely allied with
the history and veal of the State
Miss Miller is the daughter Of Or. Thomas
Miller, who, for many years, was prom
inent physician here and attended pro-
fessionally the families of Presidents, Cabi-
net officers, foreign legations, Army and
Navy officers and the old residents of the
city.
DR.. Miller was born in Virginia, but
early removed, with his father, Major Z.
R. Miller, to Washington. His wife was
the daughter Of Gen Walter Jones, who
was United States attorney for the Bis
trict OF the Potomac, as it was then
called. Gen. Jones received his appoint
ment from Mr. jefferson. Miss MiIler's
great grandfather. Dr. Walter Jones, was
"a surgeon III the Continental Army, in
charge of hospitals, and later was mem
Der Of Congress from Virginia, and served
three terms.
One of the ancestors of Miss Miller on
neE IdtUtE sue was bUthEitI- OH
OF the sgnerS of the Westmorland protest
against the Stamp Act, which protest was
gotten up by Richard Henry Lee in 1TGo.
and was the first organized resistance to
British tyranny. She is also descended
from the patriot and statesman, Richard
Henry Lee, who, with his brothers, did
so much to release the colonies from the
yoke of the oppressor.
Miss Miller is charter member of the
national society of the Daughters OF the
American Revolution. and also of the first
chapter organized in this city, the Mary
Washington. of which Mrs. Admiral Lee
is now regent. As q memter OF the
