died Monday evening at O'Clock at
the Kings Daughters hospital, after an
illness OF several weeks.
Miller was taken to the hospital
about a wetk ago from the Russler
lodging honse, on East Martin street,
where he had been practically help
less for several days previously. He
was a mental and physical wreck when
removed to the hospital, and it was
seen by those in charge that there
was but slight chance for his recovery.
The dead man was sen OF the late
Luther Miller, who was well known
and wellto-do resident Of Martinsbure
about 20 years ago Nearly a quarter
OF century ago young Miller left
home. and nothing was heard of him
for % years. In the meantime his
father died leaving an estate valued
at about SIS 900, the greater portion
of which was willed to the missing
man. No clue to the whereabouts OF
Young Miller was IOuuu until dDOut lie
months ago, when he was located in
Leeds, England. When he learned OF
his inheritance he returned to Martins
burg to claim it, and like many others
who have suddenly come into money
after a life of poverty, Miller could not
stand prosperity and began TO spend
his inheritance with q lavish hand
drinking freely and surrounding him
self with those of like inclination
This in the end wrecked his health
and he was unable to rally when
stricken.
Miller was aged 4S years and unmar
ried. He had no close relatives ex
cept his step-mother, who resides in
Shepherdstown, and who took care OF
his property during his absence and
turned it over to him wien he return
ed from England to claim it. His end
was most unfortunate cid deplorable
as he was a good-natured, generous
and inoffensive fellow.
