*Transcribed for genealogy purposes; I am not related to the person(s) mentioned.

Note: Although the body of this obituary refers to Noah as "Sr.", I suspect the designation passed to his son Noah after his death; in an announcement for the golden wedding of the son Noah, is mention of his son 'N. S. MILLER Jr.'. It appears that there are three generations of Noah S. MILLER in this family. Use 'Sr.' and 'Jr.' designations with caution.
