Obituary
Miner Chrysler departed this life April 19th. (1922) He had just passed his 75th birthday, March 19th. He had only been ill a few hours and death came very unexpected. He leaves to mourn his loss, and invalid wife, who is in her 74 year, four daughters, Mrs. Peter S. Bradt of West Berne, Mrs. Flora Palmer of Albany, Mrs. William Shutter of Albany, Mrs. Frank Sheer of Schenectady; two sons, Winfield Chrysler of Central Bridge and Seth Chrysler of Schenectady; 8 grandchildren; and 8 great grandchildren. He was an ideal father and a good neighbor and will be missed in many homes where he was always present in case of sickness. In his younger days he followed nursing, making typhoid fever a specialty. May the all wise Father watch over and comfort the bereaved ones.
