DOUBLE TRAGEDY IN MILLER FAMILY ~ 
Child Fatally Burned and Father Fatally Injured at Same Time.
Harvey Miller of Johnstown, R. F. D. 3, who was foreman for Contractor Keiper in the construction of the new Church of the Brethren edifice in Meyersdale, was fatally injured Wednesday morning by falling off a scaffold while at work on the front façade of the new building.  He was erecting a short ladder on the scaffold to climb to an upper window, when he lost his balance and fell to the ground, a distance of 15 or 20 feet.  His back was broken by the fall.  He was taken to the Memorial Hospital, Johnstown, in W. C. Price’s ambulance, where he died today (Thursday). Almost the same time that his tragic accident occurred a little daughter, of Mr. Miller, Zelma, four years old, while toddling about the Miller home, was so badly burned that she died in an adjoining room in Memorial Hospital at 3:45 p.m., Wednesday.  The child’s clothing became ignited and was burned from her little body.  She was admitted to the same institution where her father was battling for life, at 8:20 a.m. Wednesday, and her agony was mercifully ended by death a few hours later.  The father, lying on a bed in another room in the institution, was not told about the accident to this daughter and knew nothing of her death.  Other members of the family are prostrated by the double tragedy. Miller was a splendid workman and efficient foreman.  He was much liked by his fellow workmen and all others with whom he came in contact here.

MILLER, Lawrence

Killed by Kick of a Horse.
Lawrence Miller, aged about 25 years, and a son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph M. Miller, of Somerset twp., was kicked by a horse on Friday morning and died in the hospital at Johnstown on Saturday afternoon, where he had been taken for treatment.  The young man was assisting his brothers on the farm of their father about three miles from Somerset, and was going to clip the fetlocks on a horse when it kicked him in the pit of the stomach.  The blow did not appear to be a very hard one, and the young man did not feel any bad effects from it for several hours, but later in the day began to suffer great pain, and was taken to Somerset and from there to the hospital.  The physicians were of the opinion that the blow broke the intestines. The sad part of the affair was that he was to have been married on Sunday afternoon to Miss Annie Glessner of near Somerset, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Edmund Glessner.
