Letter addressed to Miller & Tuthill in Riverhead, Long Island, NY.
Miller & Tuthill was a law firm in Riverhead, NY.
James Harvey Tuthill (1826 – 1894) was a New York American lawyer, politician, and judge. Tuthill studied at the Miller Place Academy for three years, winning distinction at the school. When he was seventeen, he entered the Sophomore class at Williams College. He graduated from there three years later with honors. He then began studying law, first with his mother's relative Judge George Miller of Riverhead then with Judge Joseph S. Bosworth of New York City. He was then admitted to the bar and in 1849 he began practicing law in Riverhead with Judge Miller. The firm was known as Miller & Tuthill.
In 1860, Tuthill was elected to the New York State Assembly as a Republican, representing the Suffolk County 1st District. He served in the Assembly in 1861 and 1866. He then served as district attorney of Suffolk County from 1867 to 1875, followed by Surrogate of the county from 1880 to 1892. Tuthill was a director of the Suffolk County National Bank and attorney, legal advisor, and trustee of the Riverhead Savings Bank.
George Miller (1799 – 1883) was an American lawyer, politician, and judge from New York. In 1825, he moved to Riverhead and opened a law office there. In 1840, Miller was appointed Surrogate of Suffolk County. He was a supporter of the Maine law. In 1853, he was elected to the New York State Assembly as a Whig, representing the Suffolk County 1st District. He served in the Assembly in 1854, introducing a bill that would incorporate the Riverhead Canal and Mill Company. In 1857, he was appointed County Judge and Surrogate following the resignation of Abraham T. Rose. He lost the election for the position later that year to J. Lawrence Smith. He became district attorney of Suffolk County in 1858.
