The Greater Ridgewood area
lost one of its most dedicated
and generous historians in
George P. Miller, who died at his
Glendale home on March 17 at the
age of 76.
Since the 1980s, Miller served in
many diff erent capacities for the
Greater Ridgewood Historical Society,
and is the reason the Onderdonk
House has extensive historical and
genealogical records. When people
donated artifacts, Miller created
the museum’s archives and helped
curate the exhibits.
Richard Asbell, the head curator
at the Onderdonk House who
worked with Miller for the past 14
years, said “it was amazing what
he knew” about the history of
Ridgewood, and added that Miller
was praised and admired by other
scholars and historians.
Ironically, Miller’s own family history
is not well known. He is the son
of the late Henry and Marguerita
Miller, but he is not known to have
any other surviving or late relatives
in the area. Asbell said Miller was
a very private person and rarely
spoke about his family.
Miller served for 22 years in the
United States Air Force and retired
as a Lieutenant Colonel. According
to Linda Monte, president of the Onderdonk
House Board of Directors,
Miller’s service to his country was
clearly refl ected in his personality.
When looking for photos of Miller
upon learning of his passing, Monte
noticed that he always stood in the
back, which she said was a perfect
representation of who Miller was.
“He was a person who was always
there, but not so pushy or assertive
on most things,” Monte said. “He was
the quiet backbone to the work we
did there.”
Viewing hours for George Miller
will be on Wednesday, April 4
from 2 to 5 p.m. and 7 to 9 p.m. at
the Hess-Miller Funeral Home in
Middle Village. He will be laid to rest
on Thursday, April 5 at St. Pancras
Church at 9:30 a.m., and will be buried
in Calverton National Cemetery.
