Miller. - Elias S. Miller was married to Catharine Beachey Dec. 12, 1878. Seven children survive, born in the order named: Norman, Nannie, Tillie, Mintie, Irwin, Harry, Eunice.
Father's health had been failing for four years, but he was still well able to be around and do light work till last summer he seemed to be slowly sinking in spite of all that could be done for him. He tried all the leading doctors in reach, also took osteopathic treatment for some time. While these things all helped him they did not bring permanent relief.
Late in October he placed himself in the care of a specialist in Cumberland who helped him very much for a time, but in December his health not being quite so good the doctor urged him to come to the hospital, as he could treat him so much better there. Of course we did not want him to go, neither did he think of going at first, but as the doctor urged him more strongly he decided to go, in the hope that God would prolong his life a while longer.
He left for the hospital Jan. 7. Mother was not well but went along that morning but took sick with a severe cold upon returning home and was not able to visit father while he was at the hospital. She little thought it was the last time when she bade him goodbye at the hospital.
Father was improving so much that the doctor had decided to let him return home on the 16th, and it was thus a great shock to all of us on the morning of the 12th, as we were expecting to visit him that day, to be told that he had quietly passed away that morning at about 5 o'clock, the cause of his death being coronary embolism, or the lodging of a clot of blood in a valve of the heart. This the doctor assures us may happen to anyone, even to those in good health. How necessary then to be always ready for the great change. Father had spent the night in usual good rest and shortly before 5 o'clock he remarked to his fellow patient that he would be waited on and then take a good, long sleep. This man said he dozed for ten or fifteen minutes and by that time father was gone.
Although father has left us, his influence will remain with us, and the memory of his beautiful, patient life and teachings we shall ever most tenderly cherish, hoping in God's own time to meet him again in a better world.
The family.
