MRS. REBECCA MILLER.
Died at Daughter's Home on Adams Avenue.

  "In the midst of life we are in death" as never more fully realized 
than in the passing away of Mrs. Rebecca Miller at the home of her 
daughter, Mrs. H. W. Wills, on Adams avenue, this morning at one 
twenty-five o'clock.  Mrs. Miller was in splendid health Thursday night 
and retired at her usual hour feeling fine.  At the above time the 
family awakened and found the lady in the throes of death.  In a half 
hour she passed away.
  Mrs. Rebecca Miller was about 75 years old.  She was born at Gardner 
station, and resided in this vicinity all her life.  She was married 
twice.  Her first husband, William Morrissy, died about 39 years ago.  
On December 9, 1873, she was united in marriage to James W. Miller, who 
preceded her to the grave ten years ago.  Mrs. Miller was a devoted 
member of the Dunkard or Church of the Brethren.
  Surviving to mourn her death are the following children: John 
Morrissy, Ellsworth Morrissy, Mrs. W. Wills, Mrs. H. W. Wills, Tyrone; 
Mrs. Samuel Steel, Warrior's Mark; Mrs. H. S. Miller, Mark and Wayne 
Miller, Tyrone.
  The cortege departed from the Wills home on Adams avenue, on Sunday 
afternoon at one o'clock, proceeding to the Church of the Brethren 
where services were conducted at 1.30 o'clock by Rev. Mr. Hoover.  
Interment was made at Baughman.
