SPRING VALLEY, Minn. – This farm town, population 2,400, in the heart of southern Minnesota’s Amish country, has rallied to support a family that lost two grade-school children in a road accident involving a horse-dawn buggy. A caterer, Some Like It Hot, organized a food drive for the wake for the youngest children, two sisters, of the Menno Miller family. More than 700 sandwiches arrived, along with pots of coffee, fruit and water bottles. Meanwhile, two other Miller children remained hospitalized in Rochester. The children were heading to school when their buggy was struck by a car. A family friend, meanwhile, has organized an online fund drive. Within a day 986 persons made donations ranging from $10 to $1,000. The total was $64,200 and growing.
