Teacher Robert E. MILLER dies of polio (1952)

source: Danville Gazette (Danville, Indiana) - issue of Thursday, November 20, 1952 - page 1, columns 5-7:

BROWNSBURG TEACHER, 27, FATHER OF 3, DIES OF POLIO
Robert E. Miller, 27, industrial arts teacher in Brownsburg schools, died Monday evening, a victim of bulbar polio.

Mr. Miller, the father of three small children, was taken ill Friday but remained at school. He had been a regular timekeeper at Brownsburg High School basketball games but did not attend Friday's game at Danville.

His illness progressed and he was taken to Methodist Hospital Monday where he died about 8 pm.

Classes at Brownsburg are expected to continue, except for being dismissed so students may attend Mr. Miller's funeral. The state board of health in similar past cases has expressed the belief that closer observance is possible if children continue class attendance than if they are released.

Funeral services will be at 2 pm tomorrow (Friday) at Brownsburg Christian Church. Officiating will be Rev. Lester Yearick, church pastor, and Rev. Sharp, minister at Lebanon. Burial will be at Oak Hill Cemetery, Lebanon. Jones & Matthews, Brownsburg undertakers, are in charge.

The popular teacher had been employed at Brownsburg schools for three years and lived one and one-half miles southeast of Brownsburg on rural route 1.

Mr. Miller was born at Lebanon on March 27, 1925, the son of Jubal and Goldie Miller. He was graduated from Ball State Teachers College, Muncie. During World War II he was a gunners mate 3rd class in the Navy.

He is survived by his wife, Louise, and three children, Charles, James and Wanda June.

Danville, Ind - Nov 15 - The trial of Erroll Key, 19 years old for the killing of his cousin, Forest Miller, in a fight at a gravel pit near North Salem on Friday morning, June 4, was begun in the Hendricks Circuit Court this afternoon. Key has been a student in the North Salem HS. The mothers of the boys are daughters of the late Joseph Wynn, who, during his life, was one of the heaviest land owners of that region.

There was trouble between the families over possession of the gravel pit and when Erroll Key and his father, Taswell Key went to the pit and met Charles Miller and his sons, Alva and Forest, a fight ensued. It is charged that Erroll used an automatic pistol given him by his father.

It is alleged with instructions to use. Errol Key has been in jail since the day of the shooting. All of the time today was taken up in an effort to select a jury.
