BRIDGEWATER, Nov. 8. – J. W. F. Miller died at the Rockingham Memorial Hospital Thursday at 12:30. A son of the late Elder John A. and Elizabeth Miller, he was born May 20, 1872 at Bridgewater and his entire life in the home community.
Early in life Mr. Miller united with the Church of the Brethren in which he was active until failing health prevented his attendance. Many years ago he organized the first Cradle Roll in the Bridgewater church and directed it for a long time. Later, he was secretary in the Sunday school and will long be remembered as the man who posted the records week after week.
In earlier years, he was in the canning business with his father and brothers. Later he was employed by the D. S. Thomas Company and spent his last active years as a foreman in the construction and Maintenance of Ashby District roads.
Mr. Miller is survived by his widow, Annie Thomas Miller, one son, W. Thomas Miller, of Washington, D. C.; two daughters, Mrs. L. Huffman, of Bridgeport, N. Y., and Mrs. M. Guy West, of Uniontown, Pa.; eight grandchildren and one great-grandchild.
One son, Carl L. Miller, preceeded him death.
Funeral Services will be conducted by the Rey. C. G. Hesse, assisted by the Rev. C. B. Smith Saturday at 2:00 p. m. from the College Street Church of the Brethren. Interment will be in Oak Lawn Cemetery, Bridgewater.
The body will be removed to the home from the Rosenberger Funeral Home in Bridgewater on Wednesday morning at 10:00 o'clock.
