Spencer G. Millard

Spencer Gurdon Millard (July 10, 1856 – October 24, 1895) was an American Republican politician, lawyer and school teacher.

He then obtained a teaching position at the grade school in Carson City, Michigan, and served in the capacity as principal for about three years.

Millard's bearing as a Presiding Officer was seen as dignified, his decisions being usually prompt and accurate and his voice excellent, as it could be readily heard.

At the close of the campaign, when the news arrived that he was elected, he was heard to remark that he felt very well, and, barring a slight hoarseness, that appeared to be his condition.

In the first week of September, he returned to California accompanied by his cousin, Jay B. Millard (1854–1936), principal of the Spring-Street School.
