Obituary from The Commercial; Meyersdale, PA dated 31 October 1884:
The remains of Jesse Miller and son, Irvin, who were both suffocated in the Youngstown mines on Monday evening, were brought here on Wednesday, the funeral services taking place at the residence of Mr. George Donges, whose wife and Mrs. Miller are sisters. Jesse Miller was born in Elk Lick and owns property in this town. There are, we believe, eight children, mostly small. He was a member of Lowry Post, No. 214, G.A.R., and of the German Baptist church of this place. Great sympathy is felt for the bereaved.
