MRS. ANNA M. MILLER

Anna Maria, daughter of Michael Ossah and Eva Elizabeth Wanzel, was born 
April 28, 1842 in Rengershausen, Germany. She was united in wedlock to 
Johannes Miller on May 28, 1865, and six children were born to their 
union. In January 1882, her husband and oldest daughter, Elizabeth, went 
to America to prepare a home for the remainder of the family who 
followed them in May of that year and settled in the town of Prairie 
Farm where she lived the remainder of her life.

Due to the infirmaries of old age, she had been bedridden for the past 
seven years, a patient sufferer at all times. She departed to her 
eternal home on June 7, 1929, at 8:20 in the morning, and leaves to 
mourn her departure two daughters, Mrs. Elizabeth Roemhild and Mrs. 
John Kurschner, one son, Peter, with whom she made her home, all of 
Prairie Farm. 24 grandchildren, 33 great grandchildren, besides many 
other relatives and friends, some of whom live in Germany.

Her husband preceded her in death on Jan. 3, 1911, and her son August 
on Sept. 19, 1915. An infant daughter, Helen, and a son, Conrad , died
before the family removed to this country. As a firm supporter of the 
Christian faith she attained the age of 87 years, one month and nine 
days.

Funeral services were held Sunday, June 9, in the German Lutheran 
church at Prairie Farm with interment in the cemetery there, the 
Rev. C. Auerswald officiating.
