MARY MILLER LAID TO REST In the Greenwood Cemetery Friday Afternoon--Sketch of Her Life

All that is mortal of Mrs. Mary Miller was committed to its last early resting place in the beautiful Greenwood Cemetery last Friday afternoon, after a touching and most fitting funeral service at Grace M. E. church, conducted by Pastor C. O. Presnall. Those bearing the remains to the grave were Messrs. E. T. Burch, Wm. Oelig, H. W. Hunt, Elias Peterson, A. Dingley and Chas. H. Cummings. The body arrived from the west Friday evening, accompanied by H. J. and Hannah Miller, the son and daughter, and was taken to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Erastus Bowen where it remained until the funeral.

Mary Honeywell was the eldest of three sisters who married three brothers, these being Edward, Thomas and J. C. Miller, respectively, and of these three couples only J. C. Miller and his wife, who was Bessie Honeywell, are left. The girls were daughters of "uncle" John and "aunt" Kate Honeywell, one of the pioneer families of Clark County, now long since deceased.

The subject of this account was born in Ottawa, Canada, November 19, 1839. She was married to Edward Miller at Renfrew, Canada, in 1862 and in 1869 the family moved to Pennsylvania, where they lived until 1876 when they moved to Clark County. It was three years later that her husband, who was engaged with his brother Thomas in the sawmill business, was scalded to death by escaping steam from the boiler. She was the mother of four children, three of whom-- Mrs. A. R. Grant of Audubon, Iowa Hannah and H. J. Miller--are living. Thomas, the fourth child, died in Colorado in 1896, whence the mother had removed on account of his health, two years before. Following this affliction she moved west to live with her two children there.

Mrs. Miller united with the Methodist Episcopal church when she was 19 years of age and has ever lived a conscientious, sincere life scattering an influence for good wherever she was. Her strong character, sweet and genial disposition leaves a heritage rich and lasting, not only for her children who appreciated her at her worth, but to all who were privileged to know her.

The cause of Mrs. Miller's death was paralysis, she suffering her first stroke Dec. 22 and a second one on the evening of January 2nd, this causing her death.
