The shaft of death to many is double pointed, piercing the hearts of those who pass from earth and those who remain with equal pang. But not so with our friend and brother who passed from the terrestrial scenes of his life to he celestial glories of that home prepared for those whose robes have been washed and made white in the blood of the Lamb. To him was spared the pain of last words. His eyes closed to the things of earth. In that dreamless sleep with no whisper from the Death Angel hovering near, that he would never behold the loved faces of wife and children again until the morning of the resurrection. But the shock, the anguish, the heartache, the tears, were left to the living. Only those who have drank from the bitter cup of sorrow can fully realize the desolation of the rude awakening to the loss unbearable, but for the tender ministrations of hope and faith that enables the believer to look beyond this vale of tears to that home prepared for those names are written in the Lamb's book of life and who have passed in at the pearly gates left ajar for those who have finished life's work. The subject of these lines was born in Fayette county, Pa., but came to Harrisburg with his father and settled near where he died. He was united in marriage to Miss Lucy Detwiler in 1866. To this union were born nine children, seven now living, two having preceded him to that better land. Those left to mourn his loss are a wife, seven children, three sisters and three brothers, besides hosts of friends throughout the country, being highly respected by all who knew him. He was a kind and loving husband and father and will be sadly missed by them as well, as in the community. Brother Miller was converted and united with the Baptist church at Harrisburg in 1890, living a consistent Christian life up to the time of his death. He was also a soldier in the late war having served three years in the 92nd Ill. Infantry, and was also a member of Ellias Ware post of Bonaparte, but was formerly of Hillsboro post, from whose ranks he will be sadly missed. But from no place will his absence be so keenly felt as in the home circle by wife and children who have the heartfelt sympathy of the whole community. Funeral services were held at the house June 1, at 1:30, Rev. W. M. Cooney, pastor speaking the words of consolation. After which the G.A.R. took charge of the remains. A large delegation from the post at Bonaparte, Hillsboro and Vernon were present to pay their last tribute of respect to a dear comrade. The pallbearers were Messrs. Will Eyre, Robert Graves, Frank Watts, Leroy Junk, Bert Watts and Ed Robinson, all sons of veterans. A large number of beautiful wreaths and floral offerings were sent in by friends completely covering the lit of the casket. His remains were followed by a very large concourse of friends and consigned to mother earth in the White cemetery.
