This morning at the hour of 4 o’clock the pure, sweet soul of Ernestine Miller left the poor, tired body in which it had lingered for weary months and found rest.

Ernestine was the daughter of John and Nettie Miller of Grinnell. Mr. Miller is a brother of the Misses Miller of this city and Mrs. Miller, a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Walsh. For several months Ernestine had been gradually failing, growing weaker and weaker, just fading away as a flower withers. It was not dreamed for a long time that she could really be going away. She was a bright, sweet girl and her parents are heart broken; all the relatives mourn her deeply.

The hour for the funeral has not been determined. Miss Agnes Walsh went to Grinnell this afternoon.
