MRS. MILES DIES OF HER INJURIES
Victim of Trolley Accident Fortnight Ago Succumbs at Altoona Hospital

  Mrs. Margaret Miles, of Charlottesville, wife of Elias Miles, 
deceased, died at the Altoona hospital last evening at 10.35 o'clock, 
as a result of injuries sustained in a collision of two Altoona & Logan 
Valley electric cars near Fuoss Mills at noon Saturday, January 13.  
She was admitted to the institution on January 20, and was found to 
have suffered body contusions and a fracture of the nose.  For a time 
her condition appeared favorable, and not until yesterday was any grave 
fear as to her recovery entertained.  She was born at Shaver's Creek, 
Huntingdon county, on July 28, 1869, and married Elias Miles shortly 
after coming to Blair county.  He died in 1900.  She was a devout 
Christian woman, and a faithful worker and attendant of the 
Grazierville Methodist Episcopal church, for a time being 
superintendent of the Sunday school.  Surviving are one son, William 
Ira Miles, of this city, and two daughters, Mrs. Grace Waite, of 
Grazierville, and Mrs. Clifford Markel, of Charlottesville, at whose 
home deceased resided.  Funeral arrangements are not as yet made.  The 
body will be removed to the Charlottesville home this morning, 
interment in the Charlottesville cemetery later.
