Useful Life Ends At Okolona Home
	Mrs. Mellie MILLER spent life in service to others Mrs. Mellie BRIDWELL MILLER, died 
at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Arthur PRIEST on Friday morning at 12:55 o'clock, June 4 
1937 aged 64 years.  In those three score and four years she lived more than many do in more 
than that length of time. Her life was freely spent in doing for others.  It meant service 
to her and from this giving and doing came her greatest thrill.
	She was always interested in affairs of the community and in whatever she undertook 
it was done as it should be.  There were no half way measures with Mrs. MILLER and she will 
be sorely missed by all who were privileged to know her.
	Besides her daughter, she leaves 2 sons, Tom and Edwin MILLER, 3 grandchildren, also 
a sister Miss Lizzie BRIDWELL, 2 brothers Charles and Porter BRIDWELL.


Funeral services were conducted at the home by Bro. JONES, paster of Coopre Memorial Church 
where she was a devoted member, assisted by Rev. SMILEY of Meadow House Baptist Church.  
Burial was at Mt. Washington Cemetery by the side of her beloved husband Ed M. MILLER who 
preceded her some nine years.  Our deepest sympathy extended the bereaved.
