Miller.--Amelia G. Swartzendruber was born April 8, 1865, in Johnson Co., Ia.; died Jan. 10, 1914; aged 48 y. 9 m. 2 d. She was joined in marriage to Samuel B. Miller, Oct. 24, 1889. To this union were born 5 daughters and 6 sons, Alma, Cris, Mary, Lloyd, Lydia, Kate, George, Lena, Ray, Weldon, and Arthur, all of whom are living and were present at the funeral. Sister Miller was a devoted Christian, a kind, gentle and loving mother, a faithful and diligent member of the family, from which she was called away. On Saturday morning she called her husband to her bedside, and told him that she was sinking fast. She told him to have some of the ministers to come in, and read and pray for her. Several of the brethren came in after which she seemed to be well satisfied. She said she had no pain whatever, and seemed perfectly calm and quiet. She seemed to see the transporting scenes of heaven. Funeral services were held at the lower Deer Creek Church the 14th, having been postponed from the 13th to wait for a step daughter who lives in Texas. The services were conducted by Bro. J. S. Yoder and Bro. L. J. Miller of Mo., in German, and by Bro. S. C. Yoder in English. A very large concourse of people, friends and relatives, were present at the funeral to pay their last tribute of respect to the departed one. Besides the above mentioned children she also leaves to mourn her death her mother, who is now in her 77th year, 6 sisters, and 3 brothers. She also leaves 5 step children, all of whom were present except one, who lives is S. Dak. The family extend to all the friends and neighbors their most heart-felt thanks for all the help and benevolent kindness they have manifested during the sickness and death of this loved one. At the grave they sang one of her favorite hymns, "Safe in the arms of Jesus, safe on His gentle breast."
