Lucy A. Miller died Jan. 27, 1905, at the home of Mr. A. B. Hixon near Hillsboro aged 59 years, 10 months and 2 days.

Lucy A. Miller was born near Uniontown, Fayette County, Pa., March 25, 1845. When she was six years of age the family moved to Adamsville, Muskingham Co., Ohio, and from there to Bonaparte, Iowa, in April 1854. She was married Oct. 16, 1866 to Geo. W. Miller who departed this life May 30, 1896, aged 59 years, 10 months.

Mrs. Miller was the mother of nine children, seven of whom are living, Mrs. Hattie E. Morris, Mrs. M. Frank Hixon, and John C., Geo. M., James M., and Ray P. Miller of this vicinity and Hugh L. Miller of Bronson, Kas. She also leaves for grand daughters, two brothers and two sisters.

Mrs. Miller became a christian when 15 years of age and united with the Mt. Zion Baptist church. After her marriage she transferred her membership to the Harrisburg church to which she remained a faithful member until death.

She had been in poor health for several years, but the last year failed rapidly. She realized the approach of death and though reluctant to leave her loved ones, longed to depart and be at rest.

Mrs. Miller lived her life in her family, the church and the vicinity in a faithful, unobtrusive manner. Many a sick neighbor knew her kindly administrations. Her children feel that no words could form a fitting tribute to their mother's worth.

The funeral service was conducted by the pastor, Rev. Wm. Todd of Harrisburg, who spoke from 1 Thess 4:14.

Interment took place in the White cemetery, January 30th, 1905.
