Webb Miller was born in 1891 in Sumnerville/Pokagon, graduated from Dowagiac High School around 1910, and went on to become a journalist in Chicago. He covered the Pancho Villa insurrection at the Mexican border in 1915 and landed a job at the United Press. He stayed with UP and covered World War I, Gandhi, Ethiopian War, Spanish Civil War, and came to head UP Europe. He died a mysterious death in 1940.
The collection came from the donor's niece, who received the collection from Webb Miller's daughter—in—law Helene MIller.
