Miller, Henry died 1905
Henry Miller, aged 82 years, died at the Poor Farm Friday. He was a native of Prussia and has been an inmate of the county home for 15 years. He was a butcher by trade but his family being broken up by the death of his wife, his only son who lives at Littleport, was adopted and brought up by another family and Miller led an aimless life which eventually made him a county charge.

Interment was at the county home.
