The few remaining members of Dumont Post, G.A.R. of this city, will go to Morristown Monday to attend the funeral and to bury with military honors their comrade and true friend, Captain W. H. S. Miller. After an illness of months, Captain Miller passed away at his home in Morristown at midnight Friday night. The funeral will be held Monday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock in the Dodd Memorial Hall building in Morristown, the Masons, Odd Fellows, the G.A.R. and American Legion post participating. The interment will be in Asbury cemetery in charge of L.V. Hauk.
Captain Miller was born on a farm near Marietta eighty-three years ago. His parents were among the first people of the Marietta settlement. He grew up as most boys did of that period but he was constantly fired by an ambition to larger and better things. When war was declared in 1861 Mr. Miller was quick to enlist and at once commenced the work of recruiting a company. Succeeding in this company, he was assigned to the Thirty-third Indiana Regiment with Miller as first lieutenant. He served through the war and upon his true merits as a soldier he won a captain's commission and from that time he was always greeted as Captain Miller and he looked the part. There never was a more perfect gentleman than he. At the close of the war he married Miss Marthena Toner, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Toner, who for years resided west of Shelbyville on the Marietta road. For thirty-five years Captain Miller was one of the leading merchants of Martinsville. His health breaking, he returned to Shelby county, going to Morristown where he resided and where he was held in the highest esteem by that entire community. He belonged to the M. E. Church and was a Mason for fifty-seven years, an Odd Fellow for forty-eight years and a Grand Army man from the inception of that organization. Captain Miller was a real man, loved his fellowman, and was considerate of all and held an abiding faith in the living God. In addition to his wife he left six children. Albert L. Miller, of Arlington, Rush county; Edward Miller, of Seattle, Washington; Frank B. Miller, of Kankakee, Illinois; Mrs. Alice Carville, of Los Angeles, California; Miss Bernice Miller, of Indianapolis, and Miss Laura Blanche Miller, at home, who has been professor of English in the Morristown schools for nine years.
When taps are sounded over the grave of Captain Miller, the Grand Army boys will have paid their last loving respects to one of Shelby County's best citizens.
