Miller, son of Abraham and Sarah Kauffman, was born Feb. 5, 1910, in Oscoda Co., Mich.; died at his home near Kalona, Iowa, on the date of his birth 1934, aged 24 years. When he was six weeks old he was adopted into the home of Uriah Miller in which home he was accepted and reared with the same degree of respect and love as we accord to the other members in this family. When about 9 years old he came to Iowa with his foster parents where the rest of his short life was spent. He united with the Conservative Amish Mennonite Church, was baptized Oct. 6, 1929, and in this accepted faith remained steadfast until death. On Aug. 17, 1930, he was married to Ida Ellen, only child of Lewis D. and Katie Yoder, which happy companionship they were permitted to enjoy but the short space of a little over three years. From the time of their marriage until his death he and his companion lived in the same home with his wife's parents, to whom, by his kind and loving disposition, he greatly endeared himself; and the willing help and ready smile with which he always greeted them will be sorely missed. His sudden departure is mourned by all who knew him, in the home, the church and the neighborhood. Just a little over two weeks before his death he was seen in his accustomed place in church and but a few weeks before this he took part in the song service at the funeral of the bishop who both baptized and married him. Besides his sorrowing wife and her parents he leaves his own parents and foster parents, 4 brothers, 1 sister, 1 foster brother, 3 foster sisters, and many other relatives and friends. These brothers and sisters are: Menno Kauffman, Kalona, Ia.; Henry Kauffman, Hartville, O.; Noah Kauffman, Goshen, Ind.; Abe and Fannie, wife of Dan Bontrager, Mio, Mich.; Samuel T. Miller, Katie, wife of Wm. Stutzman, Barbara, wife of Peter Helmuth, and Amanda, wife of John Gingerich, all of Kalona, Ia. Lewis was enjoying usual good health until Monday, Jan. 22, when he suffered an acute attack of appendicitis, being operated upon the next day. Seemingly all went well until six days later, when pneumonia developed. No human efforts were spared to alleviate his suffering, nevertheless all these endeavors were in humble submission and the wish and prayer to God that His will be done.
