Although Mr. Miller has been in serious condition for the past few weeks his death came as a great shock to the family. His many friends will join the family in the mourning of his death. The deceased was born in Rockingham Co., Va., Aug 20, 1826, being one of four children, one brother John of Joplin, Mo., being the only one survive Mr. Miller. For many years the deceased had thought his brother dead until a few weeks ago he learned that such was not the case and that his brother was alive and in Joplin, Mo. Owing to poor health he was unable to come here and the local man's condition would not permit him to go to Mo., so he died without getting to see the brother. After growing to manhood, Mr Miller emigrated to Oh., where was united in marriage to Mariah Efaw, Aug 12, 1852 near Columbus. Two years later the family decided to go west and made the long overland trip to this county, settling on a farm just south of this city. There they lived until 1888 when they moved to his city. By their frugality and industry the Millers gradually accumulated property, and Mr. Miller became know as one the the successful farmers of the community. When he retired from the farm and moved to his city he became interested in Western lands for several years and spent a great deal of his time in Kansas where he acquired large tracts of land which he has developed. He maintained his interest in the business world right up to the last and despite his 85 years was still the same shrewd business man up to the time he became to ill to care for his interests. Eleven children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Miller, all of them are left with the mother to mourn their father's death. All but four of them were at home when death came. The children are: Joseph and Ed Miller of this city; Mrs. Marie Manning, Mrs. Emma Bruyn, Mrs Sarah Efaw, Mrs. Mary J. Wilson, Mrs. Martha Morris of this city; Harrison Miller of Denver, Colo., Alan Miller and Mrs. Cora Barton of Mead, Kansas, and Mrs. Nattie Linblom of Des Moines, Ia. The funeral will be held Thursday afternoon at the family residence.
