OBITUARY

MINER.

The protracted illness of Andrew S. Miner, a well-known Davenporter for many years, ended at 9:15 this morning when he expired at his home, 705 Ripley street. Mr. Miner was born in Stockton, then Fulton, Scott county, Aug. 2, 1869, the family removing to Davenport in his boyhood. His home has been here since, and he had many friends who will sympathize with the wife and little daughter in their bereavement. Mr. Miner's period of ill health extends back for some time, and he spent some six months in the state sanatorium at Iowa City in the hope of finding relief, but in vain. Besides the wife and three-year-old daughter, his death is a bereavement to two brothers and a sister, L. Bayliss Miner of Del Rio, Tex., John A. Miner of Davenport, and Miss Flora B. Minor of Des Moines, who was here Monday and Tuesday and returned to Des Moines when her brother showed some gain in his condition. The funeral will be held at 2:30 Saturday afternoon, with services at the home and burial at Oakdale. Rev. H.O. Rowlands will officiate. The services will be private.
