Miller, of Bellwood, was found early Sunday morning by a track walker just east of Tipton. His left arm and left leg were crushed to a pulp and his right foot was also crushed. A yard engine conveyed him to the Altoona hospital, where he died at 6.55 o'clock the same morning. John Miller had been in Tyrone on Saturday evening and as he missed the last car home to Bellwood, decided to take a freight and when near Tipton, he was jolted from the train and was run over. He was aged 27 years and was employed as a moulder in the railroad shops at Bellwood, and it is said by his fellow workmen that no better moulder worked there than this unfortunate young man. The deceased was known by nearly everyone as John Miller, but his correct name was John I. Schrewsbury. When a little child two years of age, his parents died in West Virginia, and he was adopted into the family of Mr. and Mrs. J. E. Miller, now deceased. After the deaths of his foster parents, he made his home for many years at the Keystone hotel with the Miller brothers who have taken charge of the body. The funeral occurred on Tuesday morning at nine o'clock from the undertaking parlors of Lafferty and John in Altoona. Interment was made in Fairview cemetery.
