"George S. Miller, who was struck and terribly injured by a train at the Otter Street crossing of the Lake Shore road on last Wednesday evening died at 8 o'clock on Tuesday night at the home of his son, T. F. Miller, 1417 Otter Street. On account of the nature of his injuries and the advanced age of the patient, no hope for his recovery was entertained. The surprising thing was the way he clung to life. His injuries were very serious and only his remarkable constitution kept him alive. Mr. Miller was in a conscious state from shortly after the accident until a while before his death, and was able to converse with those about him.
Mr. Miller was aged 80 years on the first day of the year. He was born in Union County. He came to Venango County with the family in 1835 and settled in Cranberry township on the farm now owned by his brother, S. S. Miller. A few years afterward he went to Reno and subsequently came to Franklin and conducted the old Murrin Hotel across the river. From Franklin he went to Plumer, where he ran a hotel, and from there he went to Pleasantville where he was engaged in the same business. He also ran a stage coach from that town to Titusville, afterward going to Titusville to live. From Titusville he went to Ferrell and McCaslin farm near Pleasantville, where he resided until almost three years ago, when he came to Franklin to make his home with his son.

Mr. Miller was married to Christine Shoup of Butler county, in 1846. She died about six years ago. Mr. Miller leaves two sons, T. F., of this city, and Jacob Miller, of Oil City. One brother and four sisters also survive. They are S. S. Miller, Cranberry township; Mrs. Susannah Stover, near Titusville; Mrs. Emily J. Sager, Clarion county, Mrs. Sarah Ziegler, Cranberry township, Mrs. Lucy Folwell, Pleasantville.

Mr. Miller was one of the best known of the older residents of the county and he was held in the highest esteem and respect by all his acquaintances. His tragic death is a matter of deep regret to his friends and aroused their sympathy for the surviving members of the family.
Funeral services will be held at the residence of T. F. Miller on Wednesday evening and on Thursday morning the body will be taken overland to Pleasantville for burial. "

According to family records, "He, along with his wife Christina, are buried in Pleasantville and the cemetery has no visible markers anywhere or were destroyed. Based on the article Christina died 6 years earlier. "
