As I continue my search, I was sent this information:
In the Tyrone Courier edition for 14th January 1965 "SUDDEN DEATH OF MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE INSPECTOR " The sudden death on Monday of Mr Robert miller of 50 Hillcrest Pk Moygashel,a senior inspector in the egg and poultry division of the ministry of agriculture,came as a profound shock to numerous friends in the dungannon district and many other parts of the province.He was giving evidence for a prosecution by the ministry at Omagh Petty sessions when he collapsed and died in the witness box. A doctor who was called to the court unsuccessfully applied artificial respiration.He was 56, the son of Mr and Mrs William Gordon Miller of Ormonde Park Finaghy. In his early life he worked in the linen business and then for the ministry of Agriculture. He had lived in Dungannon for many years.He was a devout Presbyterian and a member of the church committee of Dungannon Presbyterian Church. His chief interest was youth work and he had been connected with the boys brigade all his life. He was an officer with the 13th and 38th Belfast companies and when he came to Dungannon he helped form the 1st Dungannon Company of which he was Lieutenant.He is survived by his wife Irene,brother Eric and sisters Misses Jean and Agnes Miller.
This has confused me a little as I believe Robert Miller's father's name was James. I have searched the internet for information on The Boys Brigade, hopeing that I may come across more information, i.e. a photo or something.
