REV. MARTIN MILLER

A Splendid Type of Christian Character
and Citizen of Good Influence Gone
to His Eternal Home

REV. DANIEL MATRIN [sic] MILLER.

  As briefly noted in the Herald last week, Rev. Daniel Martin Miller died at 
his home a short distance south of Martinsburg, Christmas afternoon about 
2:45 o'clock, after an illness of about four week's of Bright's disease, 
superinduced by grip.  Although his physician had little hope of his 
recovery, Mr. Miller appeared much better on Christmas morning and there was 
cheerfulness in the home because of his apparent improvement, but the death 
angel was lurking about and at the hour above noted, rather unexpectedly, the 
light of his life went out.
  Rev. Mr. Miller was a son of Henry S. and Margaret Miller and was born near 
Spring Hope, Bedford county, January 27, 1862, and was nearly 51 years of 
age.  He came to Morrison's Cove about the time of his marriage to Miss Clara 
Stoner, daughter of Andrew Stoner, deceased, 29 years ago, in incident in his 
life being that his death occurred on the anniversary of his marriage.
  He began farming where H. K. Metzker and family now live, north of town, 
and continued until about twelve years ago, since which time he was employed 
as a wood worker in the blacksmith shop of H. K. Metzker, now conducted by D. 
L. Miller.
  About twenty years ago he was elected to the ministry in the Brethren in 
Christ, or River Brethren church, and was quite well known in Central 
Morrison's Cove.  He was a good citizen, was unfailingly reliable in all that 
he said and did, and possessed a beautiful Christian character, thus leaving 
to his family an inheritance worth many times his pleasant home and other 
earthly possessions.
  The funeral took place Saturday morning, services being conducted in the 
Brethren in Christ church by Elder Isaac Stern, assisted by Rev. Frank Brown.  
Interment was made in Fairview cemetery.
  Surviving him are his wife, and these children:  Isaac, merchant and 
postmaster of Newry; Elmer of Taylor township, and Mary, Henry and Fannie, at 
home.
  His mother preceded him about four years ago.  His father, Henry S. Miller, 
three sisters and one brother are all living:  Mrs. Annie Callithan of Ryot, 
Bedford county; Mrs. Maggie Oldham of Spring Hope; Mrs. Carrie Crawford of 
Elton, Cambria county, and Harry W. Miller of St. Michaels, Cambria county.
