  Wm. H. Miller, son of Henry and Caroline Miller, was born Dec. 16, 1860, in 
Indiana County, Pa., and died at his home in Garrett, Thursday, April 17, 1930,

  He united with the Church of the Brethren when he was 20 years of age.  A few 
years later he was ordained deacon and served faithfully in that capacity until 
the end.  He also served many years as church treasurer, and Sunday School 
Superintendent.  He was a loyal and devoted member of the church and gave his 
life in unselfish service.
