Charles C. Miller.

He pled guilty to four counts of murder and was sentenced to life in prison. He died in prison on June 12, 1958. Sheriff Miller was a United States World War I veteran and had been elected sheriff four years earlier. He was survived by his wife and three sons. His wife was appointed sheriff after his death.

In tribute
I served 1985 to 1993. You served too, before the badge - different uniform, same idea. You go where you are sent and you do not get to pick the call.
Sheriff Miller gave the Iosco County Sheriff's Department 4 years.
Thank you for your service to the Tawas City community, and for your service before it. Gone but never to be forgotten.
Rest easy, brother.
— S. Vincent Anthony, U.S. Army 1985-1993
