TYRONE NEWS
MILLER

  Perhaps never before has the community been more shocked at the 
announcement of a death than that of Edward Woods Miller, one of 
Tyrone's best young men, who died at his apartments on West Tenth 
street yesterday morning shortly before 4 o'clock from heart trouble.  
A number of years ago Mr. Miller suffered a serious illness from 
rheumatism, which left his heart in a weakened condition.  During 
January of this year he was again afflicted with a siege and his latest 
illness covered but a week.  He was married at Philadelphia, Pa., on 
August 15, 1917, to Miss Leona Alice Merryman, who survives.  He also 
leaves his parents, Mr. and Mrs. S. Woods Miller, one brother, William 
Black Miller and one sister, Susan.  For a number of years past he had 
been employed by the Blair County Banking company here, and was a most 
capable and trustworthy employe and his familiar figure, cheery smile 
and courteous manner will be greatly missed by the patrons of that 
institution.  He was a member of Tyrone Lodge No. 494 Free and Accepted 
Masons, of the Williamsport Consistory, also the Allegheny Gateway 
lodge No. 187, Independent Order of Odd Fellows.  He was an earnest 
member of the First Presbyterian church of this place.  Funeral 
services will be held from the home of his parents on East Eleventh 
street Friday afternoon at 3.30 o'clock in charge of his pastor, Rev. 
H. W. Bieber.  Interment in Grand View cemetery.
