    From the Descendants of John Christopher Miller and Hannah Franciska Stratman:
    "Catherine was baptized on March 3, 1856 at St. Thomas Lutheran Church in Fairfield County, Ohio. She and Curtis went to housekeeping on a farm southwest of Clearport, Ohio. They moved from Ohio to Catlin, Illinois, in February of 1883 with their family consisting of six children at that time, a sizable amount of furniture and quite a lot of stock. One of her brothers, David, went with them to care for the stock during the trip. For some years, Catherine and Curtis lived south of Catlin and then they purchased a large home and farm on the north side of town. Curtis is a brother to Mary Elizabeth, who married Catherine's brother, George Martens. To this union, ten children were born: Perry, Jennie, Russell, Ellen, Clay, Ethel, Harry, Maude, Lena and Carrie."

    The late Mrs. H.J. Clifton died at her home April 27th, 1904. She was born Nov. 7th, 1836, and was united in marriage in 1856 to A.J. Clifton. To that union was born ten children, six of whom are left to mourn her loss – two sons and four daughters; also three brothers and twenty-seven grand children. She was a faithful, loving mother and companion. Her husband died nine years ago, but she bore her loss with Christian fortitude, never murmuring not complaining. She joined the Baptists in Dewitt soon after marriage. Some fifteen years ago she, with her husband, united with the Baptist church at Penfield, and she lived a faithful Christian life until death removed her. Funeral services were held at the late home on Friday afternoon at 2 o’clock, the Rev. G.W. Dodson, of Henning, officiating. The interment took place in Loda cemetery.
