Another old soldier has been mustered out. Robert Miller. one of the Pioneer settlers of the county died at his home in Seward township last Sunday night. Mr. Miller's death, while expected by his friends, was indeed a shock to "the county. He was one of the most substantial and influential citizens: a man of sound business judgment, and whose life was an open book. We were proud to number "Uncle Bobbie" Miller among our friends.
