Jerome Miller, 44, contractor, saved William C. Stapel, 21, machinist, from burning, Oshkosh, Wisconsin, October 16, 1908. Miller, who was a very poor swimmer, rowed to Stapel, who was on a launch that had been drawn by air currents to the bank of the Fox River, close to great piles of burning lumber. With the flames passing high over his head, he got Stapel into his boat and took him to a place of safety. His neck was slightly burned and his hands badly, being disfigured for life. 3059-431
