Our Adventure to Miller Hill, American Fork Canyon 07-26-03
Looking down the mountain from George Tyng's Grave.

"On January 19 1906 just after noon, George Tyng was in his cabin office when an avalanche occurred and crashed down through his cabin killing him. His body was hauled down the canyon to American Fork. His will was read and it stated that he wanted to be buried just below his boarding house on Miller Hill. His body was taken back up the canyon on toboggans and on January 30 1906 he was laid to rest on top of Miller Hill." This story was originally taken from www.americanforkcanyon.com. Unfortunately the site no longer exists.
