| In the decease of Mrs. E. Ell. Miller
whose death we mentioned last week,
an old landmark passes away. She was
born in Potion, P. O., Apr. 2, 1916, land
was accordingly n years old at the
time of her demise. Her mother dled
when Mary was scarcely a dozen
years of age, and she was left at the
head of the household to care Tor
large family of children. Later she
came to this town, and in 1910 mar
ried Ephraim HI. Miller, who died less
than year ago. She was an excel
lent nurse and ever ready to lend a
helping hand in sickness. She was
kind to the poor and unfortunate, and
to many mourning one she has car
ried words of. comfort. Many one
has found in "Aunt Mary" a counsel
lor and friend. She had been for
many years a member of the MI. II.
church, and not only the interests OF
that church but those of religion IN
general were dear to her heart. she
is survived by her son, Oscar G. Miller
of Newport, and by her daughter, Mrs.
A. FL. Hoyt, of this village. The fun
eraI was held in the M. E.. church on
Sunday May 81, and was attended by
a large company of people. The no
raj tribute was very fine. Her late
pastor, Rev. I. P. Chase, now of st.
Johnsbury Center, officiated, assisted
by Rev. J. E. Knapp. These are the
words that were selected for the text
of the discourse, ''Let me die the death
of the righteous, and let my last end
be like his"
