Jas. Miller, who was committed
to the county poor house in 1902
died a. Bellfountain last Tuesda,
and his remains were inferred the
following day. For long tim
Mr.. Miller had been afflicted witt
a badly diseased foot and some
time back, on the recommendation
Of DR.. Bennett, the county court
authorized an amputation provided

his history is known.
