The Brookville American
                          Miles W. Wagner
    Miles W. Wagner, a prominent resident of Luthersburg, and a native of 
Brookville, was almost instantly killed early Monday by a fall of roof-rock 
in the clay mine in Draucker's Woods known as Drauckers' No. 2, of the North 
American Refractories.
    Mr. Wagner, who was assistant foreman of the mine crew, was attending 
his duties at 7:20 a.m. when he was struck by a falling rock and knocked 
against a mine car in such a manner that his skull was fractured against the 
roll bar.  Death was almost instantaneous.
    Mr. Wagner was 60 years of age last June 27.  He was born in Brookville 
in 1881 and was the son of George and Lucy Vasbinder Wagner.  He lived in 
the Luthersburg section for the past nineteen years, was a member of the 
Methodist church.
    The victim of the accident is survived by his wife, who was Arminta 
Seyler, four sons and a daughter, as follows: Leonard of Los Angeles; Frank 
of Grampian; James of Williamsport; Cecil of DuBois, and Leila Miles of 
Luthersburg.  His aged mother, Mrs. Lucy Wagner, of Luthersburg, also 
survive.  Three sisters, Mrs. Jennie Marshall and Misses Maude and Blanche 
Wagner, proceed him in death.
    The body was in Moore chapel in DuBois, where friends called between 2 
and 4 and between 7 and 9 p.m. on Tuesday and Wednesday.  On Thursday the 
casket was removed to the home for funeral service and burial in the 
Luthersburg cemetery.

Additional Comments:
 The only children recorded on the 1910, 1920 and 1930 U.S. Census reports are 
Leonard and Leila.  Based on information found on the Hillberg Family Tree on 
Ancestry.com, Frank, James and Cecil are Miles’ brothers and not his sons.
