HARRIET HARMON MILLER STAMFORD – Harriet Harmon Miller, 93, died on Monday, April 19, 2004, at Edgehill Health Center in Stamford. Born on April 23, 1910, in Penacook N.H., she was the daughter of the late George H. and Harriet Sewall Harmon. Mrs. Miller graduated from Franklin High School in Franklin, N.H. She graduated in 1933, from Plymouth State College in Plymouth, N.H., where she was elected governor of the student government and served as editor in chief of the yearbook. The college later established the Harriett Harmon Miller Society when she was 90, to recognize her long-term support and encouraged others to follow in her example. She attended the Teacher’s College at Columbia University in New York City. She taught for four years at Vila High School in Alstead, N.H., and a year at Franklin Junior High School in Franklin before moving to Stamford, Conn., in 1941. She was very active in many committee affairs in Stamford. She wrote two books, the first about her maternal grandmother’s life in northern Maine and her experiences working in a cattle operation in the badlands of North Dakota with a young Theodore Roosevelt. The second was about her mother’s role as wife of a superintendent of schools in a rural area. In addition to her husband Wilbur, she is survived by her two daughters, Nancy Harray of Monterey, Calif., and Donna Bonham of New York City, N.Y., and Island Falls; a son, Warren H. Miller of Stamford; two brothers, Donald Haron of Island Falls, and Wingate Harmon of Raymond, N.H.; two grandsons; and one great-grandson. She was predeceased by her brother, Emlen Harmon.
