Harry Muldoon Miller

Henry was a Paiute (Agai Ticutta) man (of the Walker River Tribe)

The tribe represents two Northern Paiute bands, the larger Aga'idökadö (Agai Ticutta) ("Cutthroat trout Eaters") and the smaller Pakwidökadö (Pugwi Ticutta) ("Chub carp Eaters").

Biography:
Harry Miller and his brother Billie were full-blood Piautes born to John Miller and his wife Hattie NN, Hattie later married Bob Muldoon. They lived with Bob and his wife Hattie, who married sometime after 1908, but there are no records to indicate that Harry and Billie were adopted by Bob, although he appears sometimes as Harry Muldoon Miller.

Harry was admitted to the Canton Asylum for Insane Indians on November 11, 1916, without a recorded diagnosis.

Harry died at the age of 16 on April 20, 1919, at the Canton Asylum. According to the February 17, 1934 letter by Dr. L.L. Culp, Harry was buried in the asylum's Hiawatha Cemetery tier 1 plot 83

His profile is part of the The Canton Asylum One Place Study.

Research Notes:
-apparently, it was the practice of the Agency to list those away from the Walker River Reservation in the census, the fact that Harry had died 2 months earlier had not yet reached the Agency or even the family as indicated by his interment in the asylum cemetery, either unclaimed or unwanted...
