MILLER - Died, in Butler, Texas, August 10, 1872, Mrs. Mary E. Miller, daughter
of Q. V. and P. A. Shockley, wife of C. R. Miller; born in Salem county, Arkansas,
March 12, 1850; united with the Methodist Church when a little girl; professed
religion in Arkadelphia about three years ago, and daily gave evidence of 
devotedness to Christ until the day of her death.  
  The morning before she died, she called her friends to her room, rejoicingly
said her suffering would soon end, affectionately entreated them to be faithful
to God, and meet her in heaven.  Much calmness prevaded her mind, supported by
a triumphant faith in the presence and power of her Savior, of whom she freely
spoke.  A dutiful child, loving wife and mother, an exemplary Christian has 
passed to the rest in reserve for the people of God.
  "Borne by angels on their wings,
   Far from earth her spirit flies;
   Finds her God, and sits and sings,
   Truimphng in Paradise."
           H. M. Glass
