On offer is a collection of 32 lengthy newsy emotional letters written between 1942-1947 by a highly respected elderly Hartstown Pennsylvania man to his younger brother. The letters in this archive are written by Myron Manson Miller 1859-1949 to his brother Milo H. Miller 1863-1951. Myron and Milo were born to parents Samuel K. Miller 1822-1896 and Silence Ford Ellis 1828-1899 near Hartstown Crawford County PA. Both made a significant impact on Hartstown. To learn about Myron and Milo Miller SEE BIO NOTES at the end of the listing. Myron is living out his retirement in Hartstown PA. Milo is first living in Pittsburgh and then moves to California. Myrons first letter to Milo is dated August 26 1942. At the time Milo and Maude live in Pittsburgh. Maude would soon pass away on September 14 due to complications of diabetes. Myrons early letters are mainly focused on Maudes medical condition and death. The tone of the letters is brotherly loving and helpful. An excerpt: .I have attended a lot of funerals in my time and looked at the dead but I never saw as beautiful a body as Maudes she looked as though she was going to speak to you and the flowers and all arrangements was perfectlet us know when you will be up.
