Clinton Missouri, March 15, 1902 - Montrose was surprised Monday by the sudden death , about 8 a.m. of Squire Alfred Miller. He had eaten his breakfast and started to take some clothes to Mrs. Walbert for her to wash. Before he reached her house, he fell. He was carried to Dr. Dearinger's house where he revived and could talk and said he felt as well as common and ate a hearty breakfast that morning. Dr. J. M. Miller was summoned and hastened to him but he sank rapidly and died. We understand it was heart trouble. He was 73 and a well preserved man for one of his age and rarely complained and his sudden taking off was a complete surprise to our people. He came to Montrose about 1881 and he and his son T. M. who is now in the poultry business at Fort Scott, engaged in the same of family groceries, but meeting with reverses, he engaged in the insurance business. He was elected one or two terms as mayor of Montrose, served several terms as justice of the peace, which office he held at the time of his death. He leaves a widow and three grown children, T. M. of Fort Scott and two daughters, one in East St. Louis and the other in Chicago. T. M. happened to be in Clinton on business at the time and came on the 11:05 train. The East St. Louis daughter arrived on the next 11:05 a.m. and the one from Chicago came at 9:30 p.m. Tuesday. A Modern Woodman funeral.
