Died on the Road.

John Miller, aged between 55 and 60 years, who resides in Hopewell township, 
York county, about two miles from Muddy Creek Forks, came to York Monday morning 
with a load of tobacco, which he sold to Lancaster parties, and started for home 
about five o'clock in the evening.  On the way home, on the powder mill road, 
two-and-a-half miles from York, he suffered rupture of the heart, by a fall from 
his wagon and died on the highway.  Four ribs of the left side were broken by 
the fall.  The deceased, who was a Bavarian, had $39.27 in money on his person, 
besides two open-face silver watches, pocket knife, memorandum book, pipe and 
some papers.  He was a widower and leaves eight children – four of whom are 
married – and an estate worth eight or ten thousand dollars.
