Albert Miller, my great grandfather, married Mary Levenhagen on October 28, 1880, and came to Tacoma in 1889. There (along with his brother Edward) he changed the spelling of his name to Miller. A well known contractor, he built several homes, as well as apartment houses, a church, the Blue Mouse theater at 26th and Procter, a factory building and a brewery. The BlueMouse Theater is still operating as a theater, one of the oldest in Washington State. Albert also started a company to sell electric autos. (The business was about 80 years ahead of its time!) Below is the letterhead of his stationery.

He was also one of the original directors of the Tacoma Savings and Loan Association, a position he still held at his death. Albert and Mary had three daughters; Lydia, Mabel and Cora, my grandmother. The family is shown below, with Mabel on the left, Lydia in the center, and Cora on the right.

Mary Miller contracted cancer in 1934 and Albert virtually bankrupted the family in a futile attempt to save her life. She died on October 23, 1934 and Albert swiftly followed, dying on January 29, 1935.
