ALONZA E. MILLER 
Passed Away On Sunday Evening at Home On Twelfth Street.
 
  On Sunday evening at 9:35 o'clock, the life of Alonza K. Miller, of 
East Twelfth street, passed peacefully into the eternal world.  Mr. 
Miller had been in failing health for a number of years, but only 
became seriously ill about four weeks ago, with a complication of 
diseases.  Sunday evening he sat on the front porch and conversed with 
members of the family.  Feeling ill he went into the house and in a 
short time fell into eternal sleep.  Mr. Miller was a great home man, 
and it is there that he will be wonderfully missed.  He was a kind, 
loving husband and father and an excellent neighbor and citizen. 
  Alonza E. Miller was a son of William (deceased) and Mary Jane 
(Sneath) Miller.  He was born at Skelp, Sinking valley, November 10, 
1851.  When a boy he moved with his parents to Bellwood where for many 
years was employed by the Pennsylvania Railroad company.  Fifteen years 
ago, Mr. Miller and his family moved to Tyrone where he has resided 
ever since.  August 22, 1872 he was united in marriage to Miss 
Katharine B. Miller, who with the following children survive to mourn a 
loving husband and father's death.  Charles K., of Des Monies, Iowa; 
Arthur G., Fred A., Reed T., all of Tyrone; Mrs. Charles Parker, Miss 
Margaret Miller, Altoona; Mrs. W. L. Barr, Mrs. P. L. Denny, Tyrone.  
He is also survived by his aged mother and the following brothers and 
sisters: James, Harry and Robert, of Bellwood; Edward, Juniata; Mrs. 
Howard Estep, Bellwood; Mrs. Samuel Long and Mrs. John Hutchinson, 
Juniata.  
   Private funeral services were held at the home on East Twelfth 
street on Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock, conducted by Rev. E. G. 
Sawyer, pastor of the United Brethren church. The body was taken on a 
special car to Bellwood, where interment will be made.
