     Died.—At his residence in Stewart county, Georgia, on the 6th October, 
Lewis Miller in the 81st year of his age.  He was born in the State of New 
York, his father removed when he was quite young to North Carolina and settled 
near Guilford, and remained there during the revolution; he being the eldest 
son, it devolved on him to make a support with his mother’s assistance in 
consequence of his father being engaged in that trying epoch for independence 
[Revolutionary War.]
    He removed from there to Georgia, and settled in Washington county, and 
lived there for more than 40 years; and ten years ago he removed to Stewart 
county. He was a man of industrious and energetic habits, and was for more than 
50 years a highly esteemed member of the Baptist church, and served more than 
40 years as deacon.  He bore his long illness of dropsy of the chest with the 
greatest patience.
     A widow and six children survives him, and a vast number of relatives 
scattered over the Southern States, will hear of his death with sorrow, for he 
was one of the best men and a most exemplary christian and citizen.
