  Mr. Miller was born in 1868 at Cove, Md.  He was the son of the late Philip

a coal miner.  In 1923 he moved to Zanesville, Ohio, where he was employed as a 
tile worker.  He was a life-long member of the Lutheran Church.
  He is survived by his wife and two children, Mrs. Earl Beachy of 1677 Linden

of Deitz Lane.  Surviving also are four grandchildren - Mrs. George McDonald of 
the home; Robert Beachy of the Navy Air Corps, Delaware, Ohio; Eloise Beachy, a
