MILLER.

  Mrs. Susan Emma Miller, wife of Sanford D. Miller of 514 Eleventh 
street, died in the waiting room of the Pennsy passenger station 
yesterday morning shortly after 7 o'clock.  Mrs. Miller has not been in 
good health for two years but was able to be up and about.  Yesterday 
morning she went to the passenger station to take the 7:15 train, in 
company with her cousin, Mrs. Charles E. Stoner of 2117 third avenue, 
to go to Port Matilda to attend the funeral of an uncle, Alvin Price, 
during the afternoon.  Both of the ladies entered the crowds filing 
through the gates to the train, but became separated and when Mrs. 
Stoner got on the train, she glanced out the car window and saw Mrs. 
Miller holding to the fence and motioning for her to come to her.  When 
she reached her side, Mrs. Miller said that she was short of breath and 
needed the attention of a doctor and then collapsed into Mrs. Stoner's 
arms.  With the aid of several men, she was carried to the ladies' 
waiting room, a physician and her husband were notified, but she passed 
away eight minutes after being carried from the train shed.  The body 
was then taken to the funeral parlors of Undertaker Gilden and doctors 
gave the cause of her death as a combination of diabetes and general 
complications of diseases resulting from her ill health during the past 
two years.  Mrs. Miller was the wife of Sanford D. Miller, who is 
employed by William F. Gable & Co., and was born near Port Matilda on 
Sept. 14, 1880.  She lived in Tyrone for a number of years and came to 
this city about thirteen years ago, soon after her marriage.  She is 
survived by her husband and one daughter, Irene at home; her father and 
mother, Mr. and Mrs. George R. Price, and one sister, Mrs. Leona 
Cowher, all of Port Matilda.
  Funeral services this evening at 7.30 o'clock, at the home 514 
Eleventh street in charge of Rev. W. F. Kosman pastor, of the Trinity 
Reformed church.  On Thursday morning the body will be taken to Port 
Matilda, where burial will be made on Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock.
