Floyd Miller Dies In Service
Date: 7/11/2010 at 19:12:33 

Maquoketa Excelsior-Record, October 18, 1918 

FLOYD MILLER DIES IN SERVICE 

Floyd Miller, the only son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Miller, who reside west of 
Maquoketa, is another boy from Jackson County to die in the service of his 
country. He enlisted in the Student Army Training Corps at the state 
agricultural college at Ames and left Maquoketa just three weeks ago today. He 
attended Maquoketa schools for several years and was a member of the 
graduating class of 1918. He was a studious scholar and was prominent in 
athletic circles of the school being a splendid specimen of perfect young 
manhood. 

He was born on the home farm west of Maquoketa on September 14, 1899, and was 
only a few weeks past 19 years of age when claimed by the grim reaper, Death. 
Thus another home has been saddened and another father and mother bereft of 
their only son, who gave up his life that democracy may be enthroned 
throughout the world. 

The father left early Monday morning for Ames in response to a message telling 
of his son’s critical condition, but arrived too late. The body arrived here 
Wednesday noon and funeral services were held yesterday afternoon at two 
o’clock from the home. Rev. D. F. Boomershine officiated. Interment was made 
in the Buckhorn Cemetery. Besides the grief stricken parents, one sister, Miss 
Myrtle, survives.
