Death of Henry Miller.

Henry Miller was born in Kentucky, December 13, 1833, and resided there until the year 1840, when, with his parents he came to Iowa, where the home has since been made. In March of 1854 he was married to Miss Sarah Ohara, one mile south of Bentonsport and to them four children were born, two sons and two daughters. One son and one daughter preceded him to the better land; his wife Sarah Miller died April 16, 1894.

On September 4, 1895, he was married to Mrs. Elizabeth Barnett, who with the son and daughter and several grandchildren are left to mourn the loss.

The funeral services were held at the home, Rev. A.L. Williamson conducting same, and the remains were laid to rest in the Bonaparte cemetery on Wednesday, April 10th.

Mr. Miller was a man well liked by his neighbors, and the death will leave a vacancy in the neighborhood that will be hard to fill.
