OBITUARY
DEATH OF HENRY MILLER
Henry Miller, formerly a well-known resident of Richland township, living immediately north of Nevada, is reported to us as having died at or near the town of Thompson in Winnebago county of this state on Tuesday, February 4. His age was 81 or 82 and the immediate cause of his death was a fall on the cement walk in Thompson on the Saturday preceding. From this fall he suffered a broken hip and internal injuries, from which at his advanced age he was unable to recover.
Mr. Miller was born in Ohio on November 25 of the year 1825 or 1826, and he came as a youth or young man to Rising Sun Polk county, Iowa where he lived for several years and where he was married in the fall of 1852 to Miss Eliza Barton with whom he lived for about 34 years, she dying at the farm north of Nevada in August, 1886. Mr. Miller moved with his family to Story county and to the farm before mentioned in 1863 and lived and prospered her for about thirty years. Unfortunate investments, however, dissipated his savings of years and his last years were spent in various towns in northwestern Iowa in trying circumstances. Mr. Miller had four children of whom the eldest died in infancy, and his daughter Tillie, who married Nels Rasmussen, died several years ago at Highmore, South Dakota. The others are Phoebe, now Mrs. Edwin Eaglebarger of Lenora, Kansas and Samuel C. of Livermore, Iowa.
Mr. Miller was an earnest member of the Methodist church and was for the most of his life notably interested in religious subjects. What were his particular interests in his later and more nomadic years we cannot say; but he is remembered most kindly by the people with whom he was associated in the years of his activity here, and his death will be noted with much regret. The interment was in the cemetery at Rising Sun in Polk county, where Mrs. Miller is also buried, and in the village where their married life began.
