The Union, Upper Sandusky, Wyandot County, Ohio Thursday, February 28, 1884 Another Good Citizen Dead - The unwelcome news spread about town on Saturday evening that Frank Miller, one of our well known and respected citizens, was dead. This sad event occurred at his late residence, on Fifth street, about four o'clock Saturday afternoon. His death came not unexpected to his family and immediate friends, as he had been in a critical condition for several days prior to his demise, but the general public was not aware that his condition was such and the announcement of his death was attended with no small degree of surprise. Mr. Miller had been ailing for some months past with an affection of the throat, arising from a severe cold which he contracted while attending a funeral some time ago. And then too, he has not been in perfect health since he was injured at Gloeser's tannery, three years ago, by some heavy timber falling upon him while assisting in raising the frame work for a barn. He struggled manfully against the encroachment of the disease, never complaining, working when he should have been at rest and under treatment, and concealing his sufferings, which he must have experienced, from those nearest and dearest to him. Foreseeing that things earthly were rapidly drawing to a close for him, he some time ago settled up his business affairs and so arranged them that his matters would be in satisfactory shape when the final dissolution came. The deceased was a native of Hezzen Darmstadt, Germany. He came to America when yet a young man and located in New York state, where he some time afterward married Miss Magdalena Huffman, now his widowed wife. He came to Upper Sandusky about twenty-eight years ago, and being a cabinet maker by trade, entered the employ of the late Lawrence Bowman, whom he faithfully served from that period till the time of his death. He was a man that was always found at his post of duty, and by close attention to business and strict economy had accumulated for himself and family a snug competence. His surviving family consists of a wife and three sons, Theodore, Frank and Edward, whom he has reared creditably to himself and then, and had the proud satisfaction of seeing them grow up and become useful young men. Mr. Miller was a good man, one with many sterling traits of character, which endeared him to his friends and acquaintances. In all respects he was truthful, candid and honorable. He was universally esteemed, zealous in his responsibilities and always governed by the motto, "do unto others as you would have them do unto you." In his family the deceased was ever devoted and true, a loving husband and kind father, and his memory will long be cherished by his bereaved wife and children, who have the sympathy of the community in this hour of their sad affliction. His funeral occurred Monday afternoon, and was largely attended, the services being conducted by Rev. Helle, pastor of the German Lutheran Church.
