Amish Minister Dies In Highway Crash Near Kalona, Iowa

Kalona, Iowa. — Adam A. Miller, 68, Amish minister and farmer here, was instantly killed the evening of Oct. 9 in a highway crash near his farm home west of Kalona.

Pre. Miller was returning home on Highway 22 with a wagon load of soybeans being pulled behind a horse-drawn cart when tragedy struck. Donald E. Bold of Iowa City, who operates a clothing store in Wellman, came up behind the wagon and did not see it in time because of darkness. He swerved but the auto hit the corner of the wagon, throwing Pre. Miller into the ditch.

Pre. Miller was a native of Charm, Ohio and was ordained to the ministry in 1937. Funeral services were held Oct. 12 at the Lloyd Mast home.

Surviving are the widow, the former Anna Schlabach, two sons, two daughters, 14 grandchildren, two brothers and one sister.
