MILLER?David E., Jr. a 42 year resident of Washington Twp., on May 13, 2007. Aged 80 years. David was an American History aficionado with a masterful knowledge of the Civil War. He would travel with his family to various National Parks and sites throughout the US that were rich in the history he highly valued. David enjoyed a good game of golf, spending time with friends on a bowling league and loved to get lost in a good book.
