    3. North Cambria News, Thursday, December 19, 1940 FUNERAL OF SYLVESTER MILLER SATURDAY AT ST. BERNARD'S Sylvester Miller, age 69, died in Susquehanna Township. [no date given] He was the son of Charles and Rosalia [Bagley] Miller and was born in Susquehanna Township January 28, 1871. He married Sara Jane [Fritz], who survives. He is also survived by an adopted son, George [Cronauer] Miller, at nine. These brothers and sisters survive: Amandus, Pius, Mrs. David Edward Tovey, of Detroit. Mrs Joseph Vogel, Pittsburgh, Mrs Albert Dowey, WilksBarre, and Mrs. Anicetus Lehmier, of Spangler. George Cronauer Miller was the son of Sara Jane Fritz's niece, Eva Marie Smith who married Philip Cronauer and died during the Flu epidemic. Sara Jane Fritz was the daughter of Daniel and Matilda [Lute] Miller. I don't know where Sylvester Miller grew up, but he and Sara Jane lived at the next farm to the Fritz farm. The Cambrian Hills Golf Course is directly across the road from their former home. George Cronauer Miller married Anna Mae Selfrige, and they lived in that house until they moved to Eastern PA. The house is gone now. Eva Marie Smith was the daughter of Sara Jane Fritz's sister and her husband, Cora and George Smith. I believe the Smith family was from Curwensville originally and lived in Clymer. For some reason, Eva Marie spent most of her childhood living with her Fritz relatives, and attended school in Susquehanna Township. George Cronauer was also related to Miller's, but that was Philip Miller and Elizabeth Henges, emigrants. One of their daughters, Rose Anna Miller, married Jacob Cronauer. Jacob and Rose's oldest child was Philip Nicholas Cronauer, who married Mary Eva Smith and second, Mildred Weber. If these Millers are related, I don't know how. They all lived in the north of Elder Township, near Lantzy's Mill. Can anyone else fill me in on Sylvester Miller's family? I was told his parents were Charles Miller and Rosalia Bagley. I would like to know the first names of Sylvester's sisters [and sister-in-laws], if possible. Also, does anyone have a list of the Bagley family?. I know one of the Bagley girls married a Dillon who lived in that area.
