Death of Mrs. G. A. Miller.
Between midnight and dawn
last Thursday night Mrs. Emmie
Smiiih Miller, wife of Mr. George
A. Miller, died at their home just
beyond the eastern limits of Per
ry.. Only the day before it was
told that she and her sister,
Fannie Smith, were sick with
scarlet fever.
Mrs. Miller was about 28 years
old, and had been married less
than four years. She was the
eldest daughter of the late Mr.
and Mrs. Robert J. Smith of Per
ry, and was "left an orphan in
girlhood.
As girl, woman, sister, wife and
friend, her life was resplendent
with noble characteristics ;she was
devoted to every duty, true to
every trust, faithful, gentle and
kind, a Christian.
Her death was a shock to every
one who knew her, for all were
her friends.
The burial was in .Evergreen
Cemetery at noon-tide Friday.
The floral offerings were abundant
and most beautiful, typifying her
character, and the regard of her
friends.
The bereaved husband, brother
and two sisters have the tenderest
sympathy of their many friends.
The Heavenly Father hath but
claimed His own.
A memoriam of Mrs. Miller,
written by a friend in Perry, will
be published next week.
Thanks.
Mr. George A. Miller requests
us to extend his heart-felt thanks
to those friends who so kindly
tendered assi a tance and sympathy
in connection with his recent se
vere affliction.
