DAVID PAGE MILLER.
On Thursday Of last week between
the hours of 10 and ii a. M, the sad
news was spread over the commun.
ity announcing the death of Mr..
David Page Miller. A family al.
ways happy with the care and love
OF husband and father is now stricken
with sorrow and affection. The
home that had been so cheerful is
now sad, cold and silent. God has
called unto Him "His own" The
very thought is grief, to realize that
father has gone, never more to speak
word, or give affection to a loving
wife and family.
Well, had He asked US, we'll we know,
We would have said, Oh spare the blowl
In love he lived, in peace he died,
His life was asked, but God denied.
The writer had known Mr.. Miller
to be free, affable and kind. He
made friends easily and kept them
firmly. From all parts of the ooun-
ty friends of the deceased gathered
to pay the last tribute of respect to
the one whom they so loved and
cherished. That amiable disposition
will no longer manifest itself in acts
of kindness, sympathy and love.
He has gone from his dear ones, his chill
dren, his wife,
Whom he willingly toiled for, and loved
as his life;
Oh God, how mysterious and how strange
are thy ways,
To take from US this loved one in the best
of his days.
The night dew that falls,
Though in silence 1t weeps,
Shall cover the vendure,
The grave where he sleeps.
And the tears that they've shed,
Though in secret they flow,
Shall long keep your memory
Wherever they go.
