Big Sandy News February  11th 1898
Thompson Miller, son of A.H. Miller was born July 28.1880, died of consumption, 
Jan. 28, 1898, aged 17 years and 6 months, he was sick four months and was 
converted three months before his death. His suffering was almost intolerable. A 
few days before he died he asked his father to go and ask in secret prayer whey 
he was kept here but when his father returned Tom told him him the Lord had 
revealed the cause to him, and that the purpose to warn sinners. He then 
exhorted every one that came in the room as long as he lived and was the means 
of bringing several to repentance.

He called his father, brother, and sisters around his bed and kissed them all 
goodbye, his mother having preceded him to the better land, he said he saw 
angels and little children and seemed astonished that other could not see them. 
His last words were “I am just waiting for the good Lord to take me,”. Little 
Tom grew up among us and was a lively, friendly, intelligent boy. Given the 
advantage of of a good education in time he would have made his mark in the 
world but God willed it otherwise. But little Tom did not live in vain for , “it 
is said “Their works do follow them.” He will missed from his Sunday School, 
missed from his home and many friends but he has entered into Heaven where loved 
ones never part, anchored safe where the storms of life past.
