ASHFORD.

The death of William G. Miller, from pneumonia, occurred after short sick ness, at his home in Putnam, April 9th. He was buried in the cemetery of Vest ford, the 10th, inst. His death will be of interest to the people of Western Wind ham and Eastern Holland Counties, he having been a resident of Ashford and Eastford for about forty years prior to 1877. On his removal from those districts he spent a few years at Woodstock, and for some, ten or twelve years past has re- sided at Putnam. He was the oldest of the family of i've children. brother John R., still residing in Ashford, and 8 sister, Maranda, at Fontana, Wisconsin. He was born March 27th, 1894, and had just entered upon his 74th. year. His wife was Mary Cook of Providence, who died in January, 1896, reference to which was made in the Press at the time. They leave one son, Charles W. Miller of Putnam, who with his family have resided with the parents in their declining years. Mir. Miller became Christian nearly 60 years ago, and early united with the M. B. church at EasJford. He has lived noble, Christian life, and was citizen who did his life work well was full of useful ness and exerted strong influence in his community. He visited the last of January friends and relatives in Millville, Maiden, Worcester and Spencer, Mass, was absent from homo week, and was in his usual health at that time The older people of Ashford and Eastford will remember Mir. Miller as 8 very capable leader in prayer and conference meetings. He often preached, and had strong in- fuence in Christian and revival work. He was one of the promoters and leaders of the very successful camp and grove meet ings started in the western part of East ford in September 1859 These meetings were held annually for the next fifteen years and accomplished much good. Among the relatives present from a dis tance at the funeral were Lawyer H. s. Stevenson of Stafford Springs, and Chas. A' OODh OA HAobOCup AdSSs run du obituary in the Putnam Patriot last week we clip the following written by friend and neighbOr: ''Mr. Miller was probably not an educated man, but his Maker had endowed him with such a gentle nature and noble ambition to do his work at all times, that he came to be recognized as gifted preacher whose words were gladly received by the people. For years he was a gentle nurse to an invalide wife, and when bereft by her recent death, he manfully continued in the discharge of life's duties, comforting himself with the dear hope of soon joining her, and the Savior whom he trusted His immediate family speak of him tenderly. as having died as he had lived in peace, and we his neighbors, while we miss his kindly pres ence, cannot mourn as those without hope, for he was righteous man, who has gone to his reward.
