Mis-. Attic L. Miller, widow of Richard
Miller, Esq and daughter Of the lac
Mai. Geo. Grsndstaff, died at her home,
in Edinburg, Va, on Monday, Jan 25th,
1892, in the seventy-sixth year of her age.
At fifteen years OF age she gave her
heart to God, and joined the church OF
the United Brethren in Christ. in which
commun' on she lived faithful Christian
for sixty-one years. She was the mother
of six children, three sons, Geo NJ, VIM.
P and NJ. o. Miller, OF Iowa; and three
daughters, Mrs. J. s. Hutchinson, OF
Salem, Va. Mrs. Geo. Whorton, OF Aurelia,
Iowa, and Mrs. +. d. Jennings, of Edin-
burg, Va. She bronght up her children
in the fear of God. Her godly counsel
and Christian example are to them a
rr.celess heritage. Quiet and unobtrusive
10 her life, her light shown most brightly
BY her own bearthstone. and the members
of her own household are the best wit
nesses of the fidelity with which she walk
ed in the way of the Lord. Patient IN
tribulation," she never murmured At the
Christening of the Lord. Her life OF I'M
selfish devotion, and Joyful trust in the
merits of the Redeemer is constant Ia.
SEPARATION to her bereaved friends. In all
the relations of life, as daughter, sistsr.
wife. mother, neighbor and friend she ex-
emplified the beauty Of the Christian
character. Industrious, patient, gentle,
loving, she came like her Master mot to
be minlstered unto but to minister"
Right well did she fulfill her Lords de.
mands-"Go into my vineyard and labor"
And now the busy hands are folded, the
gentle voice is hushed in death, The low
ing heart has ceased to beat. "She rests
from her labors and her works do follow
her" Tears flow unbidden as We see on
every hand the reminders of her thought
full toll. But we sorrow not as those
which have no hope. "For il we believe
that Jesus died and rose again even so,
them also which sleep in Jesus, will God
bring with him."
The funeral services was cOnduc'cd by
her pastor, Rev. W. F. Gruber. assisted
| by Rey.. b. +. Ball and o. c. Bcall, oil
the VI. +. Church, South. Her favOrits
hymns were sung, and the body was laid
in the tomb 10 await the day when the
Lord shall come
'Anl hid her arie
To hail him in triumph descending the
skies" one WHO LOVED HER.

The undersigned was called to his sick
bed few months before his death, snd
finding him IN very critical condition
We proceeded 10 converse with him at once
concerning the salvation of his soul. This
conversation naturally drifted TO the mosi
important doctrines of the church. We
found him not only informed on all The
points Of which we spoke to him. but
mon the most difficult points we found
him well informed. We proceeded a.
once to confirm him and administer t.
him the Lords supper We visited HIN
several times during his illness aud al
wave found him not only willing to con
verse on religious subjects, but especially
willing to hear the Word of God. Tb'
deceased was afflicted for number Of
wears with rheumatism, and in spite OF the
attention of the best physicians and thu
attention of the best and most faithful
nurses it brought him TO his end OF
the date mentioned above. Though
be suffered greatly during his illness, the
end came very peaceabll-as though n
had fallen a sleep.

medicine as a profession. Though n

awarded a gold medal, by the faculty o.
