By: (AP) Frederick Miller, a former president of The Capital Times Co. and publisher of
The Capital Times, died Monday after a brief illness. He was 91.
Miller was elected to
The Capital Times' board of directors in 1951, and in 1978 the board selected him to be the company's president and the newspaper's third publisher.
He relinquished those posts in 1993 but retained the title of chairman of the board and continued his leading role with the foundation and the William T. Evjue Charitable Trust until his death.
He was particularly proud of his role as treasurer of The Evjue Foundation Inc., the newspaper's charity. Under him, the foundation grew to have more than $25 million in assets and distribute more than $2 million annually.
Miller was hired by the state in 1936 to help set up Wisconsin's first unemployment compensation program. He worked in the division as an attorney and then as an administrative law judge until 1977.
Miller is survived by two nieces and a nephew.
