SAMANTHA MILLER

  Miss Samantha Miller, aged 69 years, 2 months and 17 days, daughter of the 
late Joseph and Amanda (Braillier) Miller, died at her home early Tuesday 
morning, following several strokes.  Miss Miller had not been well all winter, 
especially during the holiday season, but in her indomitable way she carried on 
until fatally stricken.  She was an outstanding business woman.  She was a most 
efficient clerk in the J. B. Davis Store in Ursina for a long period and for a 
number of years worked in the office of the Millard Scholl Lumber Company in 
West Newton.  She returned to her old home and started her own business, calling 
it "Miller's Old Inne," in which she was very successful, giving it every effort 
of her vast ability.  She was "Aunt Mint" to a host of nieces and nephews and to 
the whole community.  The many beautiful floral tributes at her funeral 
testified to the regard in which she was held.  Her whole life was spent doing 
for others.  She is survived by two sisters, Mrs. Daniel Albright of Camden, 
N.J., and Mrs. Elizabeth Critchfield at home. 
  Funeral services were held Thursday afternoon at her late home, Rev. James 
Shannon, pastor of the Lutheran church, conducting the services.  Interment was 
in the Ursina Cemetery near her father and mother, to whom she had been most 
devoted.  Charles Humbert was funeral director.
