Ada Record, 20 Dec 1911
Obituary of Mrs. Nancy Miller

Margaret Nancy Runser was a daughter of Siriphym [sic] and Catherine Runser who 
were natives of France, where this daughter was born on June 13, 1825. 

She came to America with her parents in 1832 and in 1848 the family located in 
Hardin county in the northwestern part. That same year she was married to Joseph 
Miller. To them were born three sons and four daughters.

Mr. Miller enlisted as a soldier in the Civil war, was taken prisoner and died in 
that horrible place, Andersonville prison, in 1864. Then was when Mrs. Miller's 
struggle in life began ut she came off more than conqueror, patient and 
unassuming through all her trials. 

Mr. Miller was a member of Co. H, 135th Ohio, and is buried at Andersonville, his 
being grave No. 11,811 of the 12,000 men buried there.

Early in life she was christened in the Roman Catholic church but later in life 
she fully subscribed to the Protestant faith and united with the United Brethren 
church in which she remained a faithful member to the end of her life. 

Those of her children left to mourn her departure are Marion Miller of Malta, 
Ohio; Manoah Miller, Auburn, Indiana; Sara, wife of Wesley Lappin, of Ada; Jane, 
wife of Isaac Charles, of Hancock county; Mrs. Minerva Klingler, of Paulding 
county; one son preceded the mother to the spirit world. She had 14 grand-
children and 11 great grandchildren, and also leaves a wide circle of friends to 
mourn her death.

For many years they lived southwest of town, in the Klingler neighborhood, but 
her latter years were spent at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Charles, where her 
death occurred on November 27, 1911, at the age of 88 years, 3 months and 14 
days.

The funeral was held at the house on Wednesday, Nov. 30th, conducted by Rev. J.A. 
Guthrie, assisted by Rev. Noah Blosser, and the remains were laid to rest in 
Woodlawn cemetery.
