In addition to serving as president of the Nauvoo House Association, Miller was a trustee-in-trust for the church along with Newel K. Whitney. William Clayton had been the last person to review portions of the Nauvoo House Association records in the winter of 1844–1845. James Sloan, an experienced clerk like Clayton, had previously helped with bookkeeping for the association.
