Educated locally before enrolling at Barboursville College in neighboring Cabell County, Miller also attended the University of Nashville prior to moving east in September of 1897 for medical school. Miller completed the three-year program at the University College of Medicine in 1900. Following graduation, he accepted a position as assistant to the chief surgeon and medical director of the Davis Coal and Coke Company.  Around 1904, he moved to Ashland, Kentucky and established a private medical practice for 18 months before returning to Thomas, West Virginia. Miller resumed his association with Davis Coal and Coke and became medical director in his own right in 1917. In this same period, he also held the role of surgeon for the Western Maryland Railroad. During World War I, Miller served in the U.S. Volunteer Medical Corps as the medical director for mine operations in his area of West Virginia.","Miller married Pamelia Dorcas Hampton of Ashland, Kentucky on 3 June 1902 and the couple had three children: twin boys born in 1903 and a son born in 1906. This son, John Hampton Miller would follow his father into medicine and graduate from the Medical College of Virginia in 1932.","An active member of his community, Miller served as a member of the town council, as mayor of Thomas, and as president of the local board of health. He was a 32nd degree Mason. Within organized medicine, Miller remained active with the local medical organization, the West Virginia Medical Society, and the Southern Medical Association. His contributions to the medical literature consisted primarily of historical works, his major hobby and passion.","Early in his career, he began publishing in state historical publications and was widely known for his local history and genealogical work. He published several book-length genealogies that remain valuable today. Miller's medical practice provided him with the discretionary income to build a historical library related to the history of Western medicine. Over the years, he built a significant collection by establishing relationships with rare book dealers in Europe and by making purchases without ever leaving the United States. In 1932, Miller donated this valuable collection of over 6,000 books, prints and manuscript items to the Richmond Academy of Medicine after it had constructed a permanent home with an appropriate library. Miller continued collecting, writing, and researching after relinquishing his collection to the Academy. He donated other books, manuscripts, and images to various historical and medical libraries across the southeast. In 1930, the Medical College of Virginia honored him by conferring the doctor of letters degree.","Miller died on 5 January 1957 and is buried in his wife's family plot in the Ashland Cemetery, Ashland, Kentucky.","Joseph Lyon Miller donated his collection of books, prints, and manuscripts to the Richmond Academy of Medicine in 1932. The collection remained in the Richmond Academy of Medicine Building until May of 1988, when it was placed on long-term loan at the Virginia Historical Society. In 2021, Virginia Commonwealth University purchased the collection from the Richmond Academy of Medicine and moved it from the Virginia Museum of History and Culture (former Virginia Historical Society) to VCU.","Upon receipt of the collection VCU SCA staff inventoried and rehoused the collection. They removed acidic backing and enclosures when possible and unframed the silhouettes and other items for preservation purposes.","When on loan to the Virginia Historical Society, the staff assigned the accession number, 2003.300, to the print collection, and numbered each individual item (e.g., 2003.300.1, 2003.300.2, etc.). The staff at VCU retained the individual item number assigned by the VHS and kept the physical collection in the original numeric order. Prints are housed in groups of 25 per folder. Any oversized prints are stored in large print boxes, and their location is noted on an item removed list in the original folder. To facilitate easier access, the finding aid contents list is arranged alphabetically. There are a small number of prints without an item number. These were either unaccessioned framed items or were part of a portfolio labeled \"Holland, Belgium, Norway, Sweden\" that were never individually numbered.","The Richmond Academy of Medicine Joseph Lyon Miller Collection of prints consists of engravings, lithographs, photographs, prints, and silhouettes dating from the 17th to 20th centuries that are related to the history of medicine. Many of the items were initially included in publications while others were issued as individual prints. The highlight of the collection is the silhouettes of American and British physicians. These silhouette portraits were cut from life and date from 1750 to 1850. A number of prominent silhouettists are represented including Charles Wilson Peale, William H. Brown, and Auguste Edouart.","The print collection includes likenesses of physicians from the United States, Great Britian, and western Euopean countries. There is also a small section of prints of Greek, Roman, and Islamic physicians. The collection is a good source for studying perceptions of medicine in the 17th and 18th centuries in particular. The artists' selection of iconography is varied and often more interesting than the individual depicted in the print. The photograph section includes a number of rarer images of Virginia physicians, some photographs of painted portraits and others photographic copies of original images. The photograph section also includes images of physicians' homes, hospitals, and medical schools. There are a number of medical caricatures represented in the collection as well as medical art prints.","Contact archivist to ask about reproduction of images.","VCU Health Sciences Library","Richmond Academy of Medicine","Miller, Joseph Lyon","English\n      German\n      Latin\n      French"],"collection_title_tesim":["Richmond Academy of Medicine Joseph Lyon Miller Collection of prints"],"collection_ssim":["Richmond Academy of Medicine Joseph Lyon Miller Collection of prints"],"level_ssm":["collection"],"level_ssim":["Collection"],"unitid_ssm":["2021.06.006","/repositories/3/resources/602"],"unitid_tesim":["2021.06.006","/repositories/3/resources/602"],"repository_ssm":["Virginia Commonwealth University, Cabell Library"],"repository_ssim":["Virginia Commonwealth University, Cabell Library"],"creator_ssm":["Miller, Joseph Lyon","Richmond Academy of Medicine"],"creator_ssim":["Miller, Joseph Lyon","Richmond Academy of Medicine"],"creator_persname_ssim":["Miller, Joseph Lyon"],"creator_corpname_ssim":["VCU Health Sciences Library","Richmond Academy of Medicine"],"creators_ssim":["Miller, Joseph Lyon","VCU Health Sciences Library","Richmond Academy of Medicine"],"access_terms_ssm":["Contact archivist to ask about reproduction of images."],"acqinfo_ssim":["Virginia Commonwealth University Libraries purchased the collection in 2021."],"access_subjects_ssim":["Portrait prints","Engraving","Lithography","History of Medicine","Silhouettes","Photographs"],"access_subjects_ssm":["Portrait prints","Engraving","Lithography","History of Medicine","Silhouettes","Photographs"],"has_online_content_ssim":["false"],"physdesc_tesim":["Some of the prints are fragile and/or brittle."],"extent_ssm":["9.79 Linear Feet 16 boxes.

However, neither this council nor the two preceding it was the start of Girl Scouting in the area. There has been active Girl Scouting in Richmond prior to the official establishment of a council, though few records of the earliest days remain. Using Boy Scout manuals and enlisting the guidance of the director of the Richmond Boy Scouts, area girls recruited adult leaders and began informal scouting groups. In November 1913, the first official Girl Scout troop in Virginia, Pansy Troop Number 1, was formed in Highland Springs. Sponsored by the Women's Study Club for Right Living of Highland Springs, the troop was founded by Mrs. Kate G. Read and Mrs. Marion T. Read. This troop eventually split into two: Pansy Troop no. 1 and Pansy Troop no. 2, due to demand from local girls for membership.","The Girl Scouts of Richmond Council was formally organized on April 12, 1921 when the first Council Meeting was held at the Jefferson Hotel with 35 adult members, 11 troops, and 75 girls. The council received its official charter on May 10 of that year as the second chartered council in Virginia. Because of the Highland Springs troop's formation in 1913 and their inclusion in the Richmond Council, 1913 is commonly used for the date of inception for the Richmond Girl Scouts. In 1928, under the leadership of Commissioner Ruth Robertson McGuire, the Richmond Council was incorporated by the Girl Scouts of the United States of America.\nInitially, the Girl Scouts of Richmond was a racially exclusive organization, open only to white girls and women. Black Scouting in Richmond did not begin until 1932, when Troop 34, the first African American Girl Scout troop south of the Potomac River, was established. Mrs. Lena B. Watson of Virginia Union University (VUU) was instrumental in the group's formation  when she approached the Richmond council for permission to form a Black troop. Some council members  were supportive, but the council as a whole ultimately refused to consider it. The National Girl Scouting Headquarters became involved, forcing the Richmond council to allow the troop to form. In June 1932, the first Black troop formed at Hartshorn Hall at VUU with high school teacher Lavinia Banks as their leader.\nWhile Scouting in Richmond was developing, so too was Scouting in the southern part of Virginia. Hopewell formed its first troop in 1917, and many other troops in rural, semi-rural, and smaller urban areas followed. By 1942, the Petersburg Council organized, and the Hopewell Council formed in 1956, bringing many of the lone rural troops under the umbrella of a council. In 1958, the Hopewell Council merged with the Petersburg Council to form the Southside Council, bringing all troops in Southside Virginia Council services and support.","In response to rethinking the organization of Scouting in Virginia, the Richmond Council merged with the Southside Council to form the Commonwealth Council or the Girl Scouts of the Commonwealth of Virginia in 1962. During this time, troop integration became a reality for Virginia Girl Scouts. Integration began in 1963 with the Fort Lee troop. Black Scouts were allowed to participate at Camp Holly Dell for the first time, and by 1968 segregated troops were no more. \nOver the years, the councils that became the Commonwealth Council have provided programs and opportunities for girls to explore, learn, and build character through STEM, environmental stewardship, financial literacy, camping events, homemaking, and first aid. Citizenship was integral to Scouting from its inception. During World War I, Scouts entertained military troops at Fort Lee, and visited hospitals in morale-boosting calls. At least one scouting troop was so beloved for their service, that they were deemed honorary members of one of the units stationed at Fort Lee. In the Second World War, Scouts led scrap drives and defense preparedness activities. In addition to citizenship, Scouts raised awareness as well as money for their organization. In the earliest years of Scouting in Richmond, Scouts solicited donations by going door-to-door or having booths at fairs. In 1925, the Richmond Council became a member of the Community Chest, and could focus on other ways to fundraise. One successful fundraiser occurred when the troops brought John Philip Sousa and his band to Richmond, which raised a large amount of money for the organization and allowed the expansion of programs for the girls. The first cookie sale was in 1936, and approximately 11,694 pounds of cookies were sold, which allowed for expanded services, camping activities, and improved camping facilities. The annual event has been popular ever since, and continues to raise money for troop activities and support into the present day.","Camps have always been an important part of Girl Scouting. In the earliest years of the Richmond Council, white Girl Scouts used the Boy Scout camps for a few weeks every summer, but it soon became apparent that the girls needed their own camps. Eventually, the Richmond Council settled on a property in Bon Air, VA, that became Camp Pocahontas in 1928. Day Camps, held in conjunction with the YWCA, began in 1932.  Camp Pinoaka for Black Girl Scouts in Pocahontas State Park followed in 1936, and the Petersburg Council purchased Camp Holly Dell in Chesterfield in 1951. All three camps were eventually sold, and resources put into two other camps- Camp Kittamaqund, established in 1964 in the Northern Neck, and Camp Pamunkey Ridge in Hanover County. Smaller sleep-away camps, as well as day camps, were also scattered across the tri-city area and the state.","As of 2021, the Commonwealth Council, or the Girl Scouts of the Commonwealth of Virginia, is one of four councils in the state and serves over 17,500 girls and women in central Virginia, stretching from the cities of Emporia to Fredericksburg, with its headquarters in the greater Richmond area. It is governed by a Board of Directors, which is elected by delegates from the council membership. The Board is responsible for establishing policies, approving budgets, and setting the direction for the Council. The board consists of a Chair, Vice-Chair, Secretary, Treasurer, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Members-at-Large, and two girl board members. The CEO and girl members are ex-officio, non-voting members. All serve two-year terms, and may not serve more than three consecutive terms, though the Chair is eligible to serve an additional three successive terms in another position. The Board conducts its business as the entire unit and in smaller committees, such as the Executive Committee, Finance Committee, Membership, and Program Committees. An Annual Meeting of the Board is held, and the Board continues to meet throughout the year, as do committees, as needed.","This collection contains many different formats.

In the earliest years of Scouting in Richmond, Scouts solicited donations by going door-to-door or having booths at fairs. In 1925, the Richmond Council became a member of the Community Chest, and could focus on other ways to fundraise. One successful fundraiser occurred when the troops brought John Philip Sousa and his band to Richmond, which raised a large amount of money for the organization and allowed the expansion of programs for the girls. The first cookie sale was in 1936, and approximately 11,694 pounds of cookies were sold, which allowed for expanded services, camping activities, and improved camping facilities. The annual event has been popular ever since, and continues to raise money for troop activities and support into the present day.","Camps have always been an important part of Girl Scouting. In the earliest years of the Richmond Council, white Girl Scouts used the Boy Scout camps for a few weeks every summer, but it soon became apparent that the girls needed their own camps. Eventually, the Richmond Council settled on a property in Bon Air, VA, that became Camp Pocahontas in 1928. Day Camps, held in conjunction with the YWCA, began in 1932.  Camp Pinoaka for Black Girl Scouts in Pocahontas State Park followed in 1936, and the Petersburg Council purchased Camp Holly Dell in Chesterfield in 1951. All three camps were eventually sold, and resources put into two other camps- Camp Kittamaqund, established in 1964 in the Northern Neck, and Camp Pamunkey Ridge in Hanover County. Smaller sleep-away camps, as well as day camps, were also scattered across the tri-city area and the state.","As of 2021, the Commonwealth Council, or the Girl Scouts of the Commonwealth of Virginia, is one of four councils in the state and serves over 17,500 girls and women in central Virginia, stretching from the cities of Emporia to Fredericksburg, with its headquarters in the greater Richmond area. It is governed by a Board of Directors, which is elected by delegates from the council membership. The Board is responsible for establishing policies, approving budgets, and setting the direction for the Council. The board consists of a Chair, Vice-Chair, Secretary, Treasurer, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Members-at-Large, and two girl board members. The CEO and girl members are ex-officio, non-voting members. All serve two-year terms, and may not serve more than three consecutive terms, though the Chair is eligible to serve an additional three successive terms in another position. The Board conducts its business as the entire unit and in smaller committees, such as the Executive Committee, Finance Committee, Membership, and Program Committees. An Annual Meeting of the Board is held, and the Board continues to meet throughout the year, as do committees, as needed."],"phystech_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThis collection contains many different formats.

His father moved the family to Lexington, Virginia when Lyons was a year old. It was in Lexington that he was raised and went to school. After a year at Washington and Lee University in the Student Army Training Corps, he followed his sister's advice and transferred to the Medical College of Virginia where he graduated with a degree in dentistry in 1923.","Impressed with his strong knowledge, Dr. Cameron Hoogan, Dean of the School of Dentistry, offered Lyons a faculty position right after graduation. Remembering a professor's comparison of the beauty of a bicuspid to a young girl, Lyons decided to make an engagement ring out of a tooth in a black vulcanite setting. Sara Miriam Wice would accept his unusual ring and they were married for 41 years until her death in 1967.","Lyons worked as a full-time faculty member until 1928 when he started his own practice in periodontics. He continued to teach part time until 1950, progressing through the academic ranks to become a professor of periodontia and oral pathology. He would eventually become the periodontal department chair. Then in 1951, he accepted a challenge from MCV President Dr. William Sanger, to create the best dental school in the country, and became Dean of the School of Dentistry.","Lyons was active professionally and served as president of several state and national dental associations including the American Academy of Periodontology, the American Association of Dental Schools, and the American Dental Association. It was during his tenure as President of the ADA that the issue of fluoridation of water became a national debate. Lyons was frequently quoted in the press advocating the benefits of fluoridation. He was called to testify before several state legislatures as well as the United State Congress. In the end, Lyons efforts were successful as many states adopted his recommendations adding this element to their community water supplies.","Lyons was a prolific writer and contributor to dental literature with over thirty articles to his credit. These range from specific clinical dental procedures to advice on professional behavior and grooming. . Lyons continued to teach classes even after he became Dean. Lyons disliked facial hair and forbid MCV students from having moustaches and beards for years during his tenure. While Dean, Lyons wrote about the relationship between research and education, including ways to improve dental instruction. Lyons twice earned the William J. Gies award for the best paper in the Journal of Dental Research.","Throughout his career Lyons was recognized for his hard work and dedication to the dental profession. He received Distinguished Service Awards from four national dental associations.
