OBITUARY
MILLER.

i E. R. Miller, youngest son Of A. P.
and C. A. Miller, was born in
New York state on December 16, 1847
and departed this life on June %, 1915
aged 81 years months and days. In
lS4S his parents settled in Pocket City,
now the city of McGregor, Iowa, where
the departed lived until 1864, when he
moved to Lime Springs, Iowa. In July,
1878, at DEBORAH, Iowa, he was united
in marriage with the widow of his
brother, C. S. Miller. They resided on
a farm near Lime Springs for five
years, after which they lived on farm
four miles east of DEBORAH for nine
years, from which place they moved to
, Waukon for year, being engaged in
the creamery business. After residing
in DEBORAH again for six months, they
moved to Cresco, since which time they
have resided in or near this city. For
several years he was engaged in the
windmill and pump business, but of
late has lived retired life.
There remains to mourn their loss one
stepson, C. S. Miller, his brothers son,
E. A. Miller, of Cresco, his daughters,
Mrs. G. L. Champlin, also Of Cresco,
and Mrs. Norman Cook, of Salem,
Oregon, and his widow, Alzina L. Miller,
beside numerous friends, all of who
were present except Mrs. Cook. Two
children preceded him to the Better
Land in childhood. Since coming to
Cresco he has been faithful member
of the Baptist church, for several years
serving as deacon. While living in
DEBORAH, there being no church of his
choice, he worked with the M. E.
people. He lived life of faith and
died a victorious death. He seemed
anxious to depart and be with Christ,
and talked freely of his home-going
-"Let me die the death of the
righteous"
The funeral services were conducted
by Rev. j. A. Petit, Field Secretary
of Des Moines College.
CARD OF THANKS

who SO ably assisted and helped us care
for our husband and father through his
illness, and who SO nobly and gently
helped to lift the burden of sorrow in

HYMN OF Beauty

Oft as the days drag their slow length along
/ sit and ponder the wonder of ifes
So strange, unrecconciled to our beliefs;
The hush of eve is broken by song
Pure and free in ecstacy the night birds lay
Although it sounds acros hidden griefs
We toll awhile smile beneath the load,
The way is stony and difficult to keep,
Our cry floats upward on the sutry air:
Vet soft the hand, golden wand our goad-
To guide not to chide u.s. and we may sleep
To wake a road made smooth by prayer
The toiing time at last shall reach close,
sweeter singing comes ringing from afar,
To free US from the sorrows of the past,
To and to lure us to repose;
Then we'll know the providence that lights the star,
And recognize life's beauties atthe last.
