Description: SAMUEL FREEMAN MILLER (1816-1890) was an associated justice of the U.S. Supreme Court from 1862 until his passing. He was appointed by Abraham Lincoln. Miller favored the abolition of slavery and supported the Whigs. He moved to Keokuk, Iowa, an area more supportive of his abolitionist views and immediately freed his few slaves who had come with his family from Kentucky.
