NATHAN MILLER, 74, INSTANTLY KILLED ON RAIL CROSSING
WELLINGTON - Apr. 21. A dangerous Maygar street railroad crossing claimed another victim yesterday afternoon when Nathan Miller, 74, was struck and killed by an east boung Big Four Flyer about four o'clock.
TRAPPED ON TRACKS
Mr. Miller was driving a horse and wagon and as he approached his view to the west was obstructed by a string of cars. A train was going west, and he waited for it to go by then drove on the tracks. When the impact took place both Mr. Miller and the horse were instantly killed.
The deceased lived on Courtland avenue and was a lifelong resident and was well and favorable known throught this vicinity. He is survived by his wife and nine grown up children.
Funeral arrangements have not be arranged yet. [The article does continue discussing the crossing and how dangerous it was and the fact that others had been killed there in the same way. Since there was no further discussion on Nathan I didn't find it reasonable to include it here.]
