The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa
Thursday, February 27, 1908

LUCY GILLIS was born in North Argyle, New York, March 28, 1831 and departed
this life in Chariton, Iowa, Feb. 21, 1908. She came to Iowa with MR. and
MRS. DAVID GOW in 1869, she being a sister of MRS. GOW. She was married to
DR. JOHN MILLER, of Lacona, in 1875, he dying in 1887.

For the past nine years she has made her home with MR. and MRS. ED GOW, in
this city, and no parent was ever provided for or looked after with greater
care or devotion than she by her nephew and family and it is with a deep
sense of sadness they realize her departure. For weeks she had been in
declining health and the end was inevitable but she hesitated not to go when
the final summons came for she had spent a life in preparation and was ready

Funeral services were held at the United Presbyterian Church on Sunday
afternoon at 2:30 o'clock, conducted by her pastor, Rev. M.G. Munn, assisted
by Rev. Nathan Evans. She had been a life long member of the United
Presbyterian Church and ever bore testimony to her faith by an upright and
useful life, consolation to her friends and a sure evidence of reward in the
great beyond.
