Symie Miller was a Glasgow based Zionist activist (born 31 December 1905, 152 Butterbiggins Road, Glasgow; died 18 June 2003, Glasgow, aged 97).[1][2][3] His mother's maiden name is given as Citrenick in the index of his birth registration and as Tunick in the index of his death registration, which was registered at Glasgow, Martha Street.[2][3] He was described at his death as "Symie Miller J.P."[4]
Father was Max Miller Insurance agent, mother was Fanny Miller - they were married in Germany on 21 July 1902, according to Symie's birth certificate.
Symie Miller, born in 1905, remembered that his father, Mordecai Mosewitzky (Max Miller) had emigrated to Glasgow in 1898.[5]
Family
His mother, Fanny (Frumelie) Miller, died aged 54 on 15 June 1933 at 83 Glencairn Drive, Pollokshields, "sadly missed by her sorrowing husband Max, daughters May and Gertie and son Symie".[6] The family's notice of thanks for condolences was sent from "Beechgarth", 83 Glencairn Drive, Pollokshields.[7] Her memorial stone was consecrated at Cathcart Cemetery on 17 June 1934.[8]
His sister Gertie appears to be the Gertrude August who died in Glasgow in 1992, aged 82: her mother's maiden surname is indexed as Citrenick, as on Symie's birth registration, and she was a fellow director of M H Miller and Son Limited, with the same address, 83 Glencairn Drive.[2][9][10]
No wife is named in his obituary or death notice. His death notice described him as the "beloved uncle of Frances, Ami, Shelley and Ilan",[4] and his obituary called him "a devoted uncle to a niece Frances".[1] The names Frances and Ilan match those of Frances Feder and Ilan Maxwell Feder, who were the officers of M H Miller and Son Limited from his death until its dissolution, apparently the same people; the death notice does not give their surname.[4][10]
In 1937 he travelled to Russia for his grandmother's 100th birthday; according to his obituary, his parents had left Russia decades earlier and settled in Scotland.[1]
Business
His obituary describes "his successful business importing Italian glass and china, which, to his enjoyment, entailed frequent travel".[1] He was a director of M H Miller and Son Limited from 12 February 1988 and its secretary from 31 July 1995, in both cases until 18 June 2003, the date of his death; his address in the company's records, 83 Glencairn Drive, Pollokshields, had been the family home since at least 1933.[10][6][1]
Military service
In the Second World War he served in the Royal Artillery.[1] In November 1950 the Jewish Echo described him as an ex-serviceman.[11]
Communal life
According to his obituary, he was active from his late 20s in Jewish welfare organisations. He was a council member and eventually president of the Board of Guardians, the precursor of the Glasgow Jewish Welfare Board, and of Jewish Care Scotland, and served the Housing Association, the Community Trust and the Welfare Committee. With a special concern for the disabled, he was influential in forming the Jewish Association of Parents and Friends of the Handicapped, later known as Cosgrove Care. He raised funds for the Royal Marsden Hospital in London and the Weizmann Institute in Israel, and served as a magistrate.[1]
In the 1920s and 1930s he was involved in Jewish sport in Glasgow. In 1929 he moved a vote of thanks for the Glasgow contingent of the Glasgow Jewish Athletic Club,[12] and in 1932, as vice-president of the club, he met a visiting team from Belfast.[13] In 1936 he spoke on "Personal Aspects" at the Oneg Shabbat at Queen's Park Synagogue.[14]
In February 1943 he was appointed to the executive of the Boot and Clothing Guild.[15]
In 1949 the annual general meeting of the Board of Guardians reported that "the outstanding change" was the Welfare Committee under his convenership.[16]
In December 1949 he was installed as Right Worshipful Master of Lodge Montefiore – No. 753.[17] As Master, in 1950 he conferred honorary membership of the lodge on Charles Edward Sebag-Montefiore.[18] According to his obituary, his efforts led to the consecration of the Grand Lodge in Israel in 1953.[1]
Zionist activities
Symie Miller was active in the World Jewish Congress in Glasgow in the 1940s, and in the 1950s was one of the main fundraisers for the Jewish National Fund (JNF) in Glasgow, working with the Glasgow Commission of the Jewish National Fund.
