Herald of Truth , Vol. XXX, No. 3, February 1, 1893 - Page 53, 54, 55 A FATAL ACCIDENT A sad and fatal accident occurred on the 13th of January by which one of our ministering brothers, Pre. Stephen T. Miller of Wayland, Henry Co., Iowa lost his life. Bro. Miller left his home on the 13th on the Iowa Central Ry., intending to visit the church at Roanoke, Ill., to be present at the annual meeting of the Mennonite Evangelizing Board of America (of which he was a member) at the Clinton Amish M.H. near Goshen, Ind. About 25 miles west of Wayland, the coach in which Bro. Miller was, jumped the track as it was crossing a trestle bridge. The coach fell about 30 feet and was badly demolished. The passengers were all more or less injured and bruised. Bro. Miller was taken out a few minutes after the accident, fatally injured. His wounds consisted of a deep cut on his forehead and serious internal injuries. He died after four days of suffering near the place of the wreck. His remains were taken home, and the funeral was held on the 20th at the Sugar Creek M.H. The services were conducted by C. Werey and S. Gerig in German and by Benj. Eicher in English, from John 6:24. The funeral was very largely attended by relatives and friends. Bro. Miller was born in Holmes Co., Ohio, in 1844, and was married the 4th of January, 1866, to Catharine Degler. Of their two children one is still living. After his wife's death in March, 1869, Bro. Miller was married again on the first of December, 1871, to Sister Sarah [Leah] Wenger. This union was blessed with eight children, of whom 5 are now living. In 1877 Bro. Miller was called to the office of deacon in Wayne Co., Ohio. In 1878 he moved with his family to Henry Co., Iowa, purchasing the farm on which he has since resided. In 1879 he was called to preach the gospel, in which calling he labored faithfully until death called him away. Bro. Miller was a devoted husband, a kind father, and he was loved and respected by his fellow-men. He will be sadly missed by all, and especially in the family and the church who mourn deeply the loss of one so near and dear to them, but we believe that our loss is his eternal gain. The family and the church asks to be remembered in prayer by all the brethren and sisters in this sad hour of affliction.
