Thirty-five years ago he removed to Verona, Wis., where for thirty-five years he pursued the occupation of farming and where he was, at the time of his death, most widely known. Retiring from active farm life four years ago, he located in Evansville. Mr. Miller had been for months in failing health, and recently journeyed to Waukesha in hopes that special treatment at that health resort would restore his power, and return him to his home and family in full possession of bodily vigor. But what was unexpected happened. A sudden stroke deprived him of all his rational powers, and after a few days, his spirit passed on into the realm of Otherwhere. Dying he left a wife and seven children to mourn him: John Jr., and Stanley, who live at Verona; Mrs. Carrie Alquist, who resides south of Janesville; Willis, George, Ernest and Grace who lived at home. He also leaves ten brothers and sisters; Mrs. Kate Wilder and Mrs. P. J. Colton of Colton, S. Dak.; Mrs. Ulysses Miller, Milton Junction; W. E. Moore, River Falls, Wis.; Charles Miller, Stoughton; Stanton Miller, Madison; Fred Miller, Cooksville; Willis, Chester and Ernest Miller, Evansville. Mr. Miller bore reputation of living an upright and sincere life. As husband, father, neighbor, friend and citizen he was faithful and true, and provided for his family through long years of unremitting toil. In his death the family will have the spontaneous sympathy of a large number of friends and neighbors who will miss him from the common ways and fellowships of life. The funeral services were held at Verona, Wis., Satruday at 2 o'clock, the Rev. A. W. Barnlund of the Methodist Church conducting the service, and intermen was at that village.
