Man killed in farm accident
By C.J. Marshall 03/29/2005 Daily Review
Orwell - A Rome man was killed Monday afternoon in a farming accident
when a heavy piece of equipment fell on him, causing him to suffocate.
According to Northeast Bradford Police Chief Dale Bowen, Gene Miller Jr.,
47, was pronounced dead at the scene by Bradford County Deputy Coroner
Tom Carman around 2:30 p.m. Bowen said that earlier in the day, Miller
was working on a farm he owned jointly with his father Gene Miller Sr.,
located along Ridge Road in Orwell Township. Bowen said the two men were
working on a dump trailer that had been converted to farm use. He explained
that the trailer had been raised up in the air to allow welding of a rear
axle, with the father and the son standing on either side of it. The chief
said the dump trailer, which was partially loaded with gravel, abruptly
shifted and flipped over, landing on Gene Miller Jr., and pinning him to
the ground in the process. "It was a tragic accident," the chief said about
Miller's death. "He was a real good man." The incident was reported around
1:30 p.m. The LeRaysville-Pike Volunteer Fire Company, and the Hops ambulance.
After being pronounced dead, Gene Miller Jr.'s body was released to the
Sutfin Funeral Home of Nichols, N.Y. Submitted by Carol Brotzman
Orwell farmer will be remembered for big heart
BY ERIN LEMLEY 03/30/2005 Daily Review
The family and friends of Gene Allen Miller, Jr., will truly
miss him. Forty-seven-year-old Gene died tragically and unexpectedly in
an accident while working on the family farm Monday in Orwell Township.
Gene will probably be remembered most for "his quiet and loving nature,"
said his brother-in-law Bill Rowe of Orwell. "He was a fun-loving guy;
a big-sized guy, but he had a big-sized heart to go right along with it.
Working was something Gene did whole-heartedly, according to Rowe. "Oh
yeah," he said. "That's basically all he did, was work hard and play hard."
When Gene wasn't working together with his dad, Gene Allen Miller, Sr.,
on their dairy farm along Ridge Road in Orwell Township, as he did for
his whole life until the day he died, Gene also devoted himself to the
Orwell Bible Church and was occupied with his love of sports. "All
kinds of sports: volleyball, basketball, softball," listed Bill. "Yeah,
he was quite the sports fanatic. We played basketball together and volleyball
together every summer" he said fondly. Gene played on several athletic
teams with local churches, and he also loved hunting. "He was a real
good worker," said neighbor Shelley Ford. "You always saw him working or
hunting, especially deer hunting." Shelley and Rodney Ford are the
Millers' neighbors and are fellow dairy farmers. "He'll certainly be missed,"
said Shelley. "He was a strong Christian man and he quietly lived out his
faith, that's one thing that helps everyone get by - knowing that he's
in a better place." Additionally, Rowe thought Gene might want everyone
to know that he loved the Dallas Cowboys. He leaves behind his parents,
brothers and sisters and many nieces and nephews.
