From The Nicollet Leader, February 11, 1899

Dead While Going Home.
A mystery as to what was the cause.
Peter Miller, son of Mr and Mrs Fred Miller of
Brighton, aged 23 years, departed this life on Friday
evening, February 3rd. He came into town in the
forenoon and spent the day here. Nick Jutz came down
from Morgan on the 3:23 train and was going to go out
home with Mr Miller. They left here about 4:30 o'clock
and at the time Mr Miller was under the influence of
??? so that assistance was necessary to help him in
the sleigh. Mr Jutz drove the team and when near W J
Bean's place Mr Miller dumped over and NIck covered
him up in the bottom of the box and drove due not
paying any particular attention to him. When Mr Jutz
reached Charles Sondags place he got out and asked
Henry Sondag to drive the team home but knew nothing
of the death. When the team was drove up home young Mr
Miller's father asked whether he had a dead or live
man and was much shocked by discovering that the young
man was dead. The funeral was held at the Swan Lake
Church on Monday last. He leaves a father, mother and
one sister to mourn his loss. Whether his death came
from heart failure or whether he froze to death will
remain a mystery.
