William Miller died at the residence of E. B. Kikendall, Jay Co., Indianaa. Jan. 4, 1879. The deceased was born in Frederick Co., Maryland, June 1807.
He married to Margaret Stull April 1, 1826, and moved to Winchester, Ohio, 1838, where he lived two years. He then moved to this county where he resided until his death.
Mr. Miller's first wife died in 1869, after which he married Mary Williams, July 3, 1870, with whom he lived until her death over two years ago.
Mr. Miller became a member of the Presbyterian church in early life, and later he united with the M. E. church in this place.
William Miller was a good man. He came to this county when it was lonely and dreary; he left it with facilities and improvements which always seemed to him to be the life of the county. He was a very industrious man and sympathized with the laborer in his toil and anxieties. He was kind and hospitable. This is an outgrowth of an early life on the frontier. He was known to all the early settlers in the county.
He died in the faith of Jesus, whose servant he had been for half a century.
His funeral was preached by Rev. Lacy in the M. E. church. There was a large concourse of mourners and citizens present. Such men are the pillars of science. To Jay county in her devotion to principle is just what these old pioneers have made it. We are glad that such men live among us and sorry when they leave us.
