Irene Elizabeth Knepp Miller was born in Sharon Twp., Johnson Co., Ia, June 25, 1898; died at her late home near Kalona, Ia., Feb. 6, 1920; aged 21 y. 7 m. 11 d. Mar. 15, 1916, she was united in marriage to Milo J. Miller. She leaves to mourn her early death, her heart-broken companion, father, mother, two sisters (Minnie and Sadie), one brother (Floyd), her aged grandparents (Bro. and Sister Peter Kinsinger), and a host of friends and relatives. She was preceded in death by two brothers and one sister. She accepted Christ in her youth, uniting with the East Union Mennonite church, to which she remained faithful and consistent until death. She always took a great interest in all the different activities of the Church, where she will be greatly missed as well as in the home. Her friends were all who knew her. Her greatest joy was in helping those in need. The cause of her death was la grippe, which developed into pneumonia. All that loving hands and medical skill could do was done, but after a short illness of ten days she peacefully fell asleep. Funeral services were held Feb. 9, at the East Union Church, and burial in cemetery nearby. Services were conducted by Joe C. Brenneman and D. J. Fisher. Text, Jas. 4:14.
