PIERRE, S.D. (AP) — The body of former South Dakota Gov. Walter Dale Miller will lie in state in the Rotunda of the Capitol building in Pierre Monday.

Public viewing will be allowed from 7-11 a.m. Central time, with a memorial ceremony scheduled for 1 p.m.

Miller, who died Sept. 28 at age 89, stepped in as the state’s leader in 1993 after a plane crash killed his predecessor, Gov. George Mickelson. Miller served as the state’s 29th governor through 1995.

A funeral procession will leave the View 34 restaurant at 5:30 p.m. CDT Monday and will travel west on Highway 34 to Rapid City. People are welcome to pay their respects along the route.

Miller’s funeral service is scheduled for 10 a.m. Mountain time Wednesday at the Calvary Lutheran Church in Rapid City.
