Griffith was lecturer and organizer of the Wisconsin Woman's Christian Temperance Union (WCTU) for several years. Her illustrated lectures won her the name of "Wisconsin Chalk Talker." She wrote temperance lessons and poems for the Temperance Banner and the Union Signal. She also published a temperance novel A Woman's Evangel (Chicago, 1892), having already put out a volume named Chalk Talk Handbook (1887), and True Ideal, a journal devoted to purity and faith studies. In 1891, Miller moved to Chicago where she became a special writer for the Daily News Record, and afterwards, an editor on the Chicago Times, and by this means, she made public her views on temperance.{{sfn|Logan|1912|p=677}} Early years and educationEva Kinney was born in Whitewater, Wisconsin, November 8, 1852.{{sfn|Cherrington|1926|p=1152}} She was a daughter of Francis Kinney and Sophronia Goodrich Kinney.{{sfn|Willard|Livermore|1893|p=341}} She entered Whitewater State Normal School in 1868,{{sfn|Wisconsin.
