OBITUARY: "Another Old Veteran Answers the Last Roll Call".
August Miller was born in Germany in 1827, died Sept. 26, 1907, aged eighty years. He enlisted in the services of his country as a private in Company C., First Colorado Cavalry in October 1861, and after seeing three years hard service, he was honorably discharged October 27, 1865 . He then re-enlisted in Company G., and served one year and was again honorably discharged. Mr. Miller was truly patriotic and loyal American soldier and a man whose word was as good as his bond.
He was taken sick about three weeks ago with general disability, and although kind hands did all they could, his great age was against him, and he soon passed to the great beyond. He was the father of eight children, one has passed away and seven are left-two sons and five daugh ters, all of whom were in attendance at his last sickness, and all followed his remains to the Arnold cemetery, where he was laid away, amid a large circle of friends, who went to pay their last respects to one who faithfully served his country.
The beautiful casket was draped with the stars and stripes he so nobly defended in his younger days. He was a member of the G.A.R., who bore him to his last resting place. The boys who wore the blue pass away one by one, but let us not forget the ones who are left in our midst, and help them with a warm welcome
