This biography is the story of Edward G. Miner, a successful businessman, civic leader, and one of Rochester, New York's most prominent citizens.

His family lived there during the nineteenth century and was acquainted with Abraham Lincoln from nearby Springfield. In Rochester, Miner became president of the Pfaudler Company, the leading worldwide manufacturer of glass-lined tanks. During the first half of the twentieth century, Rochester benefited from the robust growth of technologically advanced companies whose executivesbacked the development of numerous community enterprises. Miner served as president of the Rochester Chamber of Commerce, chairman of the board of trustees of the University of Rochester, and in a number of other civic and cultural organizations.
