Obituary: Adams County, Wisconsin: Augusta MILLER ************************************************************************ Submitted by Joan Benner, May 2005 © All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm ************************************************************************ From the Adams County Press, Saturday August 20, 1898, Page 5 Column 3 Mrs. Augusta MILLER who resided with her family two miles west of the village, died at her home last Tuesday forenoon, of apoplexy. She had previously suffered an attack of the same character. A few weeks ago she was out blue-berrying and was so overcome with the heat that her mind has ever since been quite badly affected. She was a worthy woman and a kindly neighbor, and in her home, an idolized mother. Her husband died about a year ago. She leaves five children surviving her--Frank, Fred, Matthew, Etta and Mrs. Hannah HATTIE. The funeral was held at the family residence this Thursday forenoon, and all her children were present. A large attendance of people attested the high respect of the community for the deceased. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * From the Adams County Reporter, August 27, 1898, Page 9 Column 5 Mrs. Augusta MILLER died August 16 of apoplexy following a brief illness of five weeks duration.
