MILLER, NANNIE
(14 Aug 1919, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
MRS. LEE MILLER
Mrs. Nannie Rees Miller was born in Bedford, Livingston county, Mo., March
18th, 1870.  Died August 9th, 1919, at her home in Elk City, Okla.  Mr.
and Mrs. Miller were married the 27th of April 1905.  No children were
born to them.
Mrs. Miller leaves three sisters in California; Mrs. Emma Druell of San
Francisco; Mrs. Hurley Mitchell of Fresno; and Mrs. Lula Brown of Santa
Rosa.
Her father, Dr. Alonzo Rees, her mother, who was Miss Nancy Elder before
her marriage, and a sister, Mrs. Fannie Davis, had preceded her and were
laid to rest at Selma, California, the childhood home of Mrs. Miller.
Mrs. Miller joined the Baptist church October 15th, 1909.  She was a true
christian and died praying God to take her out of such misery.  For three
long years she has suffered more than tongue can tell.  Everything was
done for her that possibly could be done by her devoted husband and
friends.  All that medical science could do or loving hearts provide, the
odds were too great, and the silver cord which held her to life could no
longer withstand the strain.  The world has been made better because she
lived, who gave her flowers while she lived, and her sweet unselfish life
can be, and is an example that all might follow.
Funeral services were held at the home last Thursday afternoon, conducted
by Rev. C. Bowles, interment was at Fairlawn Cemetery under the care of
Grubitz & Son.  Many friends attended the last sad rites, showing the
esteem and love in which she was held by all.
