Stanley Miller Dies in California Friday
Mrs. Edward C. Eicher of Washington has received a telegram telling of the death of Stanley Miller in Los Angeles, Calif., Friday at noon.
Mr. Miller, a brother of the late Alex Miller, Washington publisher, was a member of a pioneer Washington family and lived here a number of years ago. At one time he was editor of the Mt. Pleasant Free Press.
He was the son of Peter and Barbara Miller and moved to Los Angeles many years ago where he set up a printing shop in the Hollywood area. He operated this until he suffered a stroke a few years ago.
Funeral services will be held at 2 p.m. Tuesday in the Hollywood chapel. He was about 78 years old.

The death of Stanley Miller in California notes the passing of a generation of Miller and Eicher families ---- families who have left their marks indelibly upon this community. His brother, the late Alex R. Miller, was editor and publisher of the Washington Democrat and once was his party's choice for the office of governor. The late Henry M. Eicher and Edward C. Eicher were cousins of Stanley, the latter serving in Congress from this district and later receiving presidential appointment to the Federal bench, District of Columbia. Stanley, himself, once published a newspaper at Mt. Pleasant, and followed the printing business most of his adult life. He had an unusual personality, the kind that made a stranger turn for a second look when he met Stanley Miller on the street. He came from a family background of hard work, high principles, and simple faith. That is the kind of background that created America. And America will be lost only when she departs from that formula. The rugged individuals --- like Stanley Miller --- are not as numerous as they once were. As life becomes easier the ruggedness departs. This was one of the topics of our last conversation with Stanley when we visited his home in California. He didn't like some of the things he was seeing then in the west, and was disturbed about it. He was a fine, jovial, cultured gentleman.
