August 1901

Mrs. Elton O. Atkinson - .... Miller was born in Marion Co. Iowa, December 16, 1872 and died at her home near Truro, Madison Co., Iowa, Aug. 29, 1901. The funeral was held at her home and was conducted by S. C. Howe. She was buried Sunday morning in the Ebenezer cemetery.

When about two years of age, her parents removed to their home near Peru Ia., where her girlhood days were spent and many pleasant associations formed. When quite young she united with the M. E. church, and was a faithfull worker in Sabbath school and other branches of church work.

On Feb 2, 1898 she was married to Elton O. Atkinson. Two children were born to them, both dying in infancy.

Early in the summer when disease was fastening itself upon her, they spent some weeks in the west, hoping to improve her health, but all efforts proved unavailing. Her long illness was borne with unusual fortitude, and patience, and conscious to the last, she called her friends to the bedside, bidding each an affectionate farewell. And after listening to the reading of God's word she peacefully fell asleep. "Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord, that they may rest from their labors, and their works do follow them.
