Funeral of Alex Miller born 12 Aug 1856 died 9 Sep 1936 buried Peace Lutheran Cemetery rural Sioux Center.

The funeral of Alex Miller of Rock Valley, whose death occurred last Wednesday morning following an illness of almost nine months, was held last Friday afternoon and was one of the largest funerals ever held in this community.

Brief services were held at the home in Rock Valley at 1:30 in the afternoon and then the large procession wended its way to the Pease Lutheran church in Plato township where their last sad respects were paid to as fine a man as ever lived in Iowa. Rev. Hugo Beyer preached a fine sermon and the tributes he paid to the dead man's life and character were well merited and richly deserved. The Lutheran choir sang a few of the old hymns and many beautiful flowers covered the bier. The pall bearers were six of his nephews.

He is survived by his wife (Mary Muehlethaler), his companion for over 54 years; three children, Fred A. and Mrs. Lee Clary of Garfied township and Emil of Hudson; ten grand children and one great grandchild.

A paragraph describes the people who attended the funeral from a distance.

To the sadly bereaved family we tender our sincerest and most heartfelt sympathy.
