YORK, Neb. — Mabrey L. Miller, a longtime York College faculty member and an elder at the East Hill church, died Jan. 18. Nicknamed “Doc,” he was 86.
He and Madge, his wife of 64 years, had been a part of the York family for more than 50 years. He was among the first faculty members in 1956 when the college reopened.
