North Adams Advocate, January 24, 1908
Death of George Miller (Picture included in article)

George Miller was born in Butler, Wayne County, New York, Nov. 22nd, 1846.  He 
was the son of Aaron and Elizabeth Miller and was one of a family of nine 
children, six sons and three daughters.  Of a large family but one brother, 
Sanford Miller of Somerset, survives.  One brother died in the army.  Deceased 
came to Michigan with his parents in 1853 when a lad of seven years.

His life has nearly all been spent on the farm in Somerset, Hillsdale County, 
the old homestead where he passed away, at the age of 61 years 1 month and 16 
days.  He was married to Emily Tenney Dec, 13, 1868.  To this union two 
children were born, Rosa E. and Otto G.  Mr. Miller a year ago last Nov. was 
stricken with the fatal disease, cancer.  Medical skill, kind and loving care 
has been given him but of no avail.  Although able to be about, the change was 
marked; a week previous to his death an artery was severed and he was confined 
to his bed and on Tuesday evening Jan. 7, 1908, as the shades of night were 
falling, patiently bearing the burden with his loved ones about him, he 
peacefully passed away.  Left to mourn his demise is a sorrowing wife, one son 
and wife, four grandchildren, a devoted daughter and one brother who will 
sadly miss him.

He was a highly respected citizen, an honored member of Jerome Grange.  The 
many who called him friend ever found him loyal and true and our hearts are 
bound in sincerest sorrow with the desolate ones.

Another hand is beckoning us, another call is given,
And glows once more with Angel steps,
The path which reaches Heaven.
Alone unto our Father's will one thought hath reconciled;
That he whose love exceedeth ours hath taken home his child.

Funeral services at Jerome church, Friday at one o'clock January 10, 1908.  
Rev. Gordon speaking words of comfort to the bereaved.  Interment in Jerome 
cemetery.

Card of Thanks:  We wish to thank the kind friends who assisted during the 
sickness, death and burial of our dear husband and father and the choir for 
music, also friends for beautiful floral offerings.  Mrs. George Miller, Miss 
Rosa E. Miller, Mr. and Mrs. O. Miller
