  Karl A. Miller, died suddenly at his home, 411 Grant Street, about 11 a.m.,

work and was on his way into the house when he collapsed on the steps of the 
front porch.
  He was born June 13, 1876, at Johnsburg, Northampton Township, the son of John 
H. and Mary (Trimpey) Miller.  He is survived by his wife, Edna Kyle Miller, and

of Charles Hunt, Greensburg, and by five grandchildren.
  Also surviving are the following brothers: Dr. Irvin Miller of Berlin; William 
and K. G. Miller, all of Glencoe, and Walter G. Miller of Akron, O., and by a 
sister, Mrs. Emma Landsmann, Detroit, Mich.
  Mr. and Mrs. Miller lived in Meyersdale in their early married life, then 
settled in Pittsburgh, where Mr. Miller was in business first with the 
Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company, and then with the Globe Varnish Company of 
Pittsburgh, of which he was vice president at the time of his death.  About 19 
years ago, they returned to Meyersdale to make their home here.  Mr. Miller took 
an active interest in community affairs.  During World War II, he served as 
commander of civilian defense in Meyersdale.  He was an active member of Zion 
Lutheran Church, and belonged to the Masonic Lodge and the Rotary Club.
