about fifty years ago. As early as 1S43 he
was married to Miss Lizzie, eldest daughter
OF the late VIM Braddock, who survives

Mr. Miller was for number OF years
constable and crier of the Court and per
formed the respective duties faithfully and
efficiently.
Throughout his long residence in this
county Mr.. Miller held the confidence and

industrious and upright man, and he went
TO his long and silent home, we venture to
assert, without the enmity of any living be-
ing and with the sorrow OF all who knew
him. His life was quiet and unostenta-

OF duty, nor ever forgot friend. A con
sistent member of the Christian church, he
died in the full consolation of It's faith.
The funeral services were held at his late
residence on Monday morning last, Rev. s.
b. Teagarden officiating, after which his re
mains were taken to the Rockville Gene
