H.
Miller

FRANK H. MILLER founded his detective agency at 443 Broadway in 1912. The business was operated by him and a son William H. Miller at that address through at least 1947. The agency apparently was sold by 1956. The new owners operated at 578 Clinton Street as late as 1959. 

Frank Miller was born in New Jersey on May 12, 1879. The 1910 Census shows him working as an investigator, living at 911 Cherry Street with his wife of 12 years, Mildred. The 1920 Census shows him living at 443 Broadway with his wife named Teresa, daughter Dorothy, and niece Martha MacIntire. The 1930 Census shows that he had moved to 919 Merrick Street in Haddon Township, and that his wife was named Catherine. By 1947 a William H. Miller was running the business.

COUPLE ARRESTED AFTER 24 HOUR VIGIL
Fight Interrupts Hearing; Estranged Husband Has Apartment Watched

Arrested last night as they left an apartment at 727 Penn street, Rayfield Hartman, 38, of that address, and Mrs. Jean Everett, 35, of 111 East Franklin Avenue. Collingswood, were held in $300 bail on statutory charges by Justice of the Peace Frank Sheridan.

The couple was arrested by Detective Frank Miller, who had kept a watch on the apartment for 24 hours, at the request of the woman's estranged husband, Harry Everett, formerly of Euclid Avenue, now of Montgomeryville, Pa.

Hartman and Mrs. Everett first were arraigned before Sheridan in the Federal building. Both had been drinking, according to Sheridan, and Hartman attempted to hit Miller. Sounds of the fight reached post office employees downstairs and they ran upstairs with drawn pistols, believing a holdup in progress.

Sheridan committed the couple to the county jail until they became quiet, when the hearing was held at Sheridan's home, 941 Elm Street.

Two months ago Mrs. Everett was fined $200 for drunken driving in Gloucester, and in 1930 she was fined $75 for possession of liquor after a raid on her home by Chief of County Detectives Lawrence T. Doran.
