Former U.S. Congressman Clarence E. Miller, a longtime Ohio Republican lawmaker, has died.
Congressman Miller died on Aug. 2 in a Lancaster, Ohio hospital. He was 93.
The Washington Post reported this week that Miller had medical complications from pneumonia.
He was nicknamed “Five Percent Clarence,” for his persistent efforts to cut spending bills by that amount, the Post said.
Miller was born Nov. 1, 1917, and served in the House of Representatives from 1967 to 1993 in the 10th District.
He lost in a heated Republican primary election in 1992 to former Congressman Bob McEwen of Hillsboro.
Miller was preceded in death by his wife, Helen, and left behind a son, Ron, daughter, Jackie, five grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren and two stepgrandchildren.
Services for Congressman Miller will be at 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 6 at First United Methodist Church at 163 E. Wheeling St., Lancaster. Visitation is from 2 to 4 and 6 to 8 p.m. Friday at Frank E. Smith Funeral Home, 405 N. Columbus St., and one hour before the church service.
