DIED
MILLER - Near Mapleton, on April 7th 1878, Mrs. Elizabeth, wife
of Geo. Miller, aged 52 years, 7 months and 25 days.
Sister Miller was a member of the U.B. Church at Mapleton. Her suffering
was quite a trial indeed, yet withal she bore it with Christian fortitude
and patience, and with a glorious hope she waited until the solemn summons
came. Her life was one of diligence as a wife and mother, and worhty of
imitation in her Christian deportment. Although for some years she was
not permitted to frequent a house of the Lord (on account of declining
health), yet her faith was firm and she longed to pass over the river.
She leaves to mourn their loss, a kind husband, four daughters and three
sons, all dear and affectionate. The youngest was her pet daughter, aged
about 11 years, with whom the parting was heart touching; none knew her
but to love her and our loss is her eternal gain. Loved ones need not mourn
as those who have no hope. She cannot come to you but Christ has opened
up a way by which you can go to her. "Seek that way."
