CALDWELL, Aug. 30. - The funeral services of Mrs. A. E. Miner, who died Tuesday at this place, were held at the home on Denver street yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock, conducted by the Christian Scientists. Mrs. Miner was one of the few remaining pioneers who came to this section in the early 60's.Ann Eliza Wilson was born at Perryville, Ohio, October 14, 1827, grew up at that place and was married to Garner Miner in 1848. Six years later Mr. and Mrs. Miner were drawn west by the gold excitement in California. They sailed from New Haven, Conn., and journeyed to California by way of the isthmus of Panama, settling for the time at Sacramento. In 1863 Mrs. Miner left Sacramento for the Idaho gold fields, Mr. Miner having already gone. She rode on horseback, carrying her small child, by the Columbia river route, through to Baker City, Oregon, and joined Mr. Miner at Idaho City. Idaho City at about this time had a population of 10,000. The family later moved to Horse Shoe Bend. Three daughters blessed the home - only one of which survives the mother. In 1892 the Miner family moved to Caldwell, where they have since lived. Mr. Miner died at Caldwell about seven years ago. Three generations of the Miner family are living in this section. Mrs. Murcheson of Denver, late of this place, being a great granddaughter.

The news that Mrs. Miner had died suddenly Tuesday evening came as a shock to Caldwell citizens. She had been enjoying her usual good health and had done a small washing in the forenoon after which she complained of having a severe pain in her stomach and laid down for a few minutes' rest. Mrs. Miner has been a familiar figure in the social circles of Caldwell for 15 years. Called here by the death of her daughter, she took the place of a mother to a little baby grandchild whom she reared to womanhood.
Mrs. Anneliza Miner was born at Toledo, O., October 14, 1827. When but a small child her parents moved to California and from there to Oregon and thence to Idaho arriving in the Basin country in 1862. She leaves behind a large circle of friends one daughter, nine grand children and 11 great grandchildren.
The funeral took place at the residence of Robert Farrar and was held under the auspices of the Christian Science church of which she was a member.
