Miller was one of the most favorably known farmers of his community. He was of the Amish faith, honest, industrious and congenial. He is survived by the widow and five children, as follows: Benjamin of Middlebury, Indiana; Manno of near Wheatfield, and Mrs. B. Yoder, Julie and David of Newton county. He also leaves one brother, Ben B. Miller of near Mt,. Ayr. Funeral services were held at the late home Thursday and burial made in the Amish cemetery.
