- Mr. Robert Miller -
On Sunday, the meancholy news came to the town that Mr. Robert Miller, of Montreal, had died early that morning of paralysis. He had been stricken with paralysis shortly after leaving work on Friday evening, and he survived only till about midnight the next day. The attack was unexpected, and his health had been good prior to that, and the paralytic stroke was wholly unlooked for.
Deceased was born in Perth sixty-six years ago, of Scotch parents, and lived in this town until about twenty-five years ago, when he left for Toronto, but ultimately removbed to Montreal, where he had a position as a machinist with his brothers, Messrs Mitchell Bros.
He was married to Miss Christina Brown, also of this town, and she with one son, Willie, and tree daughters, one married (Mrs. James Thomson), survives. His remains were brought to Perth for burial in elmwood cemetery, Rev. D. Currie, of Knox church, conducting the services.
Mr. Miller's father, George Miller, was killed while acting as a fireman at the burning of the old Roman Catholic church about 1832. He had a machine shop in town, and his firm built the old Fountain fire-engine, the first of its kind in Perth.
