Miller.-Edward D. Miller was born April 23, 1869; died May 25, 1926; aged 57 y. 1 m. 2 d. On Dec. 13, 1896, he was married to Maud Yoder. She died Sept. 10, 1899. This union was blessed with one daughter (Cora Maud). On Feb. 2, 1901, he was again married to Annie Yoder Hershberger. He leaves his wife, one daughter (Cora, wife of Ben M. Miller), one adopted daughter, Alta Fern, wife of Ray Brenneman), six grandchildren, father and mother. Two brothers and four sisters preceded him in death. Those surviving are Eli, Albert, Samuel, Noah, Calvin, Levi, and Fannie (wife of G. B. Helmuth), and many other relatives and friends. He united with the Amish Mennonite Church in his youth, and remained steadfast in that faith to the end. In the spring of 1914 he received a paralytic stroke, from which he never fully recovered but was able to be up and around. He with his wife left their home in Kalona several weeks ago to visit his sick father in Millersburg, Ohio, and on the evening of May 24, while at the home of his brother, Albert, he received another stroke while on the outside of the house, and became unconscious immediately, remaining so until death relieved him the following evening. His wife, being with him at the time ,and probably on account of the shock, suffered a paralytic stroke about one-half hour later; she gradually became worse till she became unconscious and remained so until the next morning . The funeral was held at his parents' home on May 27 at Millersburg, Ohio, conducted by David and Sol. Slabaugh, and on May 29 at Ben Miller's home at Kalona, Iowa, conducted by Will Yoder and Ed Hershberger in German and Elmer Swartzendruber in English. The body was laid to rest in the Lower Deer Creek Cemetery.
