Miller, Edward H.

  Edward Miller, a respected citizen of Somerset Township, died suddenly on 
Tuesday of last week at his home near Lavansville. He had complained for several 
days of feeling unwell but he was in Somerset on Saturday and at church on 
Sunday. He was about sixty two years of age. Edward H. Miller was born at Edie, 
a son of Jonathan Miller on November29, 1854. He was united in marriage with 
Mary Friedline, a daughter of Moses Friedline on October 6, 1876, and who 
survives him. Surviving children are: Alpha who now lives on "Mayfield Farm;" 
Frank, at home; Elizabeth wife of Albert Hemminger; and Lulu, wife of Lloyd 
Marteeny. Mr. Miller purchased "Mayfield Farm," formerly owned by Rev. H. H. 
Flick, from George Marteeny in 1901. Within five years Mr. Miller made 
"Mayfield" a paying investment. He farmed intensely and successfully until two 
years ago when Mr. Miller retired from his active operation of the farm and was 
succeeded by his son Alpha, who is also "making good." Mr. Miller was a citizen 
of the highest character, and as an agriculturist he is a leader among his 
felloe farmers.
