  James Earl Miller, of 433 Fifth avenue, a Pennsy yard brakeman and member 
of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, died at the Mercy hospital 
yesterday morning at 3 o'clock of the influenza, after an illness of four 
days.  His wife is at this time confined to her bed with the same disease.  
Besides his wife, he is survived by two children, a daughter, Thelma aged 7,

funeral which will be strictly private, will take place from the residence 
of his parents at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon.  Interment will be made in
