    • Woolwich Native Passes Suddenly

      John N. Miller Attacked by Fatal Illness; Funeral Held on Tuesday

      Elmira and vicinity were shocked to learn of the sudden passing of John W. Miller at his home on South Street on Saturday. The late Mr. Miller was about as usual on Wednesday, but took ill that night and after intense suffering he succumbed Saturday afternoon in his 65th year. A son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Conrad Miller, he was born in North Woolwich, November 11, 1864, and spent practically his whole life in that community. In 1894 he married Margaret Bender and they settled on the farm adjoining his father's home where they lived until three years ago when they moved to Elmira. He is survived by his widow and four sons; Addison, of Pilkington Township; Wesley, of North Woolwich; Ezra and Herbert at home. Two grandchildren and three brothers also survive. The latter are: Peter, of Elmira; Fred of Kitchener, and Moses, of Otterville, Miss.

      The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon from his late residence to the Evangelical Church, Rev. E. D. Becker having charge of the services. Interment took place in the Elmira Cemetery the pallbearers were: Simon Moyer, William Kinzie, Israel Groff, Jacob King, John W. Schweitzer and Henry Witzel, of Elora.
