MEMBER OF PIONEER LOCAL FAMILY DIES
Mrs. Laura Ormiston Miller, 86, formerly of 510 Lavina St., died yesterday in Richmond
State Hospital, where she was a patient 10 years.
A native of Fort Wayne, Mrs. Miller was a member of one of Fort Wayne's oldest
pioneer families. Two Ormiston brothers arrived in the area with Gen. Anthony Wayne in
1778. They received land grants and settled here with their holdings, containing most of
what is now the south part of the city.
Surviving are several nieces and nephews. Three brothers, Rufus, Francis and Ruben
preceded her in death.
