Mr. Miller was married Oct. 13 1890, to Louisa Robbins. He was converted to God last winter through the labors of Rev. Chas. McConnehey and remained a faithful earnest christian until he was summoned home to his eternal ward.

Bro. Miller enjoyed sweet peace in God and in his last illness was graciously filled with the spirit of the divine Christ. He was so hnppy that he would praise God while his bodv was racked with aches aud pains. Jesus was friend to him. He longed to tell others of the saving power of Jesus and did so by calling them to his bedside and urging them to seek Christ for salvation Of him it can 'truthfully be said, "Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep, from which none ever wake to weep; a calm and undisturbed repose, unbroken by the last of foes." May the Lord comfort the bereaved family and give them a happy reunion in that world which has no end.
