PETER MILLER LONG ILLNESS IS FATAL TO PETER MILLER Business, Fraternal and Civic Leader of City Dies Sunday at Family Home An illness of several months' duration during which he underwent and operation at Milwaukee, yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock claimed the life of Peter A. Miller, well-known business man, fraternal worker and civic leader of the city. Death occurred at the family home at 1118 S. Seventh street and was due to pernicious anemia. The end found members of the immediate family at his bedside as death was not unexpected, Mr. Miller having gradually become worse in recent weeks. He had apparently recovered from the effects of the operation three months ago but his other illness consistently became more severe and brought death yesterday. In Business Many Years Born in the town of Herman, Sheboygan county, on January 29, 1868, Mr. Miller was 63 years of age at the time of his death. When a lad of four years he came to the town of Meeme, this county, in the fall of 1872 and since then made his home in the county and city. He came to the city of Manitowoc in 1896 and almost immediately became active in business and other activities of the city. For 30 years he successfully conducted retail grocery stores in Manitowoc, owning an establishment at Fifteenth and Washington streets for many years. During the past five years he was engaged in the wholesale sugar business. Mr. Miller was twice married, his first wife, Miss Nellie McMahon dying some years ago. He later married Miss Bridget Thorton who with one son, Homer of the Chase National Bank in New York City, two brothers, Anton of School Hill, this county, and Andrew of Oakland, California, and one sister, Mrs. Peter Ketter of Westphalia, Kansas, survive him. Another son, Edgar, died several years ago. His son, Homer, recently returned to New York after a visit with his father here but again arrived in Manitowoc on Friday when it was evident that Mr. Miller's condition was taking a turn for the worse. Funeral On Wednesday Solemn high mass services will be held for Mr. Miller at the St. Boniface church on Wednesday morning at 9:30 o'clock and interment will take place at Calvary cemetery. Active in Many Groups For the past 35 years, Mr. Miller was in the forefront of every movement for the advancement of the interests of this community.
