MILLER - Rev. Alexander Miller died last night at 11 o'clock at his home in West Goshen after four weeks' illness of malignant stomach trouble. His age was 63 years. Mr. Miller formerly lived near Wakarusa and was a well to do farmer besides being a minister in the German Baptist church. He has been totally blind for seven years. Last summer he decided to move to Goshen, so he bought a lot on the West Side, and built himself a commodious home into which he had just moved a short time before he was seized with his last illness. He is survived by his wife, four sons and one daughter. One of the sons, Reuben, is a photographer in Wakarusa, and another, George, resides in Nappanee. Another son lives in North Liberty and another in North Dakota.

DEATH OF REV. ALEX. MILLER.

Preacher of Brethren Church Passed Away Friday Night.

Rev. Alexander Miller, 62 years of age, a preacher in the Brethren church and a life long resident of Elkhart county, died at 11 o'clock Friday night, of malignant stomach trouble. He has suffered for nearly a year and for the past week has been very ill. Rev. Miller moved here from five miles north of Nappanee on the Goshen-Plymouth road, June 22 last. He has been blind for seven years, but never-the-less drew the plans for the contractors for his present home on Berkey avenue. He was born in Harrison township, Nov. 7, 1842. He was a man of broad mind and with the educational advantages of modern days would have probably attained to much prominence as a minister. He leaves besides his wife, four sons and two daughters, George E. Miller of Nappanee, M.A. Miller of Valparaiso, Harvey L. Miller of North Liberty, Reuben D. Miller, Mrs. Christian Metzler and Mrs. Lily Overholt of Wakarusa. Three brothers and five sisters also survive. They are Adam B. Miller, of North Dakota, Christian Miller of Clinton township, William Miller and Mrs. Henry Roose of Nappanee, Mrs. John Ganger and Mrs. Esther Holmes of South West, Mrs. Margaret Daveport of Elkhart and Mrs. Eba Ebersole of Wakarusa.
