War Veteran Passes Away
Miller Van Druff, a veteran of the Civil War, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Arwilda Urig, 424 Vine Street at five o'clock Friday morning, his age being 79 years. Death was due to a complication of troubles, coupled with his advanced age.
The home of the deceased was in Butler, Mo., and a year ago last July he came for a visit with the daughter here. He was taken ill soon after arrival and was never able to return, being more or less seriously sick ever since and gradually declining.
Mr. Van Druff was born in Pennsylvania, his home being there until a young man when he went to Missouri, that state since having been the home. He was a member of Co. D., of the Second Missouri State Militia Cavalry, attaining the rank of corporal, and served throughout the war, a period of more than three years. Following the war he engaged in farming, that ever having been his vocation.
He was a member of the Christian church, also of the G. A. R. of his home town, and a splendid man and citizen, quiet and reserved in his manner, a kind husband and father, and ever had a wide circle of friends.
Surviving are four children, J. F. Van Druff of Butler, Mo., Mrs. R. C. Garrison of Cleveland, Mrs. Winifred Milligan of Toledo and Mrs. Arwilda Urig of Alliance, at whose home he died.
Funeral services will await the coming of the son from Missouri. Should he not arrive by Sunday the remains will be placed in the mausoleum in Alliance cemetery and service held later. Friends may view the remains at the Urig home at any time Saturday and Sunday.
