DEATH CLAIMS ONE OF
OUR FORMER CITIZENS

Moves to Mexico in an Effort to Regain Health but Dies on Nov. 14th

The friends of James H. Millen were much grieved the early part of this week to learn of his death, in Albuquerque, N. Mex. On last Thursday his mother, Mrs. S. R. Millen, and brother Will, left hurriedly for New Mexico, called by a telegram mentioning his serious illness from acute Bright's disease. They reached Albuquerque at midnight Friday, and went at once to join his wife at his bedside. Jim was still conscious when they arrived, recognizing them and talking with them, and he even expressed his desire to be buried in the family lot in Clarinda cemetery, specifying the part of the lot he preferred. He then passed to the better world, at 1:50 Saturday morning, less than two hours after his mother and brother arrived. Thus passed from earth to heaven a brave and cheerful soul, who valued above all things our most precious gift—life and health, in search of which he was compelled to leave here for New Mexico less than two years ago.
James Hunter Millen was born in Dunbar, Nebr., Aug. 27th, 1883. Soon afterward they came to Clarinda, this being where he spent his boyhood days, graduating from our high school in Class '02, and later spent a year in Monmouth College. For a time he then worked in Red Oak learning the plumbing trade under Mr. Kelley, and became associated there with Harry Draper in the same business. After the death of his father, Dr. S. R. Millen in Clarinda, he moved here, starting a plumbing and heating establishment. In 1910 he was united in marriage to Margaret Adsit at Pueblo, Colo. Jim had never been strong and rugged since an attack of typhoid fever in 1900 when he was 17 years of age, and in the spring of' 1914 his trouble developed into tuberculosis, compelling him to leave with his wife and baby boy, for New Mexico, which has since been their home. They drove overland in their car, which Jim has used there for transporting passengers, either taking tourists and traveling men on trips through the mountains, or more recently in jitney service in Albuquerque, where an accident some months ago greatly impaired his health and gave warning that his strength was not great. Lately he has seemed much better in health, and it was a
surprise that acute Bright's disease should set in and be the final cause of his death on Oct. 16th, 1915. The remains were brought to Clarinda. The funeral being held this Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock, from the residence of his mother at 315 N. 17th St., conducted by his beloved pastor Dr. W. C. Williamson of the United Presbyterian church, of which Jim was a member.
Besides his wife and three year old son, James Adsit Millen, he leaves to mourn his loss and to revere his memory his mother, Mrs. S. R. Milien, a brother Will Millen, and three sisters, Mrs. J. P. Wenner and Miss Katharine Millen of Clarinda and Mrs. A. D. Skiles of Creston.   Besides the foregoing relatives there were present at the funeral his former partner Harry Draper from Red Oak, an aunt, Mrs. T. J. Spicer of Monmouth and a cousin Mrs. R. B. Miller of Le Mars.   The pallbearers were all former friends, and schoolmates, Charles Dunn, C. H. Amick, Talt Clark, Frank Duff, Roy Sherman and also Harry Draper.
Jim had many friends in his boyhood home who will miss his quick step, and cheerful voice and whistle, and who for two years past have been wishing that returning health might bring him to his old self again. PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, Oct 21, 1915

S. R. Millen is dead, was the sad news that came to this city Tuesday about 3 p m., from Bigelow, Mo., sent by his son, Jas. Millen. The two had been down there the past two weeks or more fishing and recreating for the Doctor's health. He had been poorly since his severe illness of last winter, but during the past week improving wonderfully in strength. Tuesday forenoon he felt in uuusually good spirits, and ate a hearty dinner, joking and laughing in his old time manner. After the meal he sat around the hotel, aud while his son was writing a letter home he heard a noise aud looking around saw his father falling backwards in his chair, and was apparently lifeless when James went to his assistance. Heart trouble following a complication of other ailments was the cause of his death. The remains were brought to this city in the evening. The suddenness of his death was a severe blow to the family and the entire community.
Dr. Millen was born at Clayton, Ill, July 21, 1853, and was a son of Rev Samuel Millen. He was educated at Monmouth College, and a graduate of Rush Medical College in 1882. He began practicing medicine in this city the same year and has since resided here except two years in Nebraska. He was married to Miss Katharine F. Peacock, March 17, 1881, and five children were born to them—Mary R., Jas. E , Will W., Matilda I , and Katharine F. Dr. .Millen was a menber of the Main Street U. P. church, and a man highly respected. His mother still lives in Monmouth but was unable to attend the funeral. Two brothers, Dr. W. M of Omaha,Theodore, and two-sisters of Mrs Millen, Mrs. Pinkerton and Mrs. Spicer of Monmouth were present. The funeral took place at 3 p. m. today from the home conducted by Rev. R.M. Sturgeon.

Samuel Rutherford Millen was born in Adams county, Illinois, July 21, 1853.  His father, Samuel Millen, who was a minister in the United Presbyterian church, was at that time pastor of the church in the town of Clayton and the family continued to reside there until Samuel, the youngest child in the family, was three years of age.  They then moved to a farm in Warren county [where] boyhood and young manhood was spent on the farm and in the district school, and in the academy at Monmouth where he received his preparatory education. In 1870 he came to Clarinda, and as a student assisted Dr. Lewellyn in his medical practice for a few years, returning from here to Chicago to finish his medical course in Rush Medical College, where he graduated in 1882. One year previous to that time in March he had married Miss Katherine Peacock of Monmouth, Ill. After his graduation from the medical school he came to Clarinda to establish a pratcice and since then, with the exception of a short time spent at Winterset, Iowa, and another brief residence at Dunbar, Neb, he has made Clarinda his home.
He was converted at the age of fifteen years, becoming a member at that time of the church in which his father was a minister and has remained a faithful member of the United Presbyterian church since that time. His father's family consisted of four boys, Wm. M., who now lives at Omaha and was present in this city at the funeral yesterday; John W., deceased; Theodore M., who is librarian of the Warren county, Illinois, library, and Samuel R. William was the only brother able to be present at the funeral. The aged mother of Dr. Millen is still living at Monmouth, Ill., but is too feeble to travel from her home. The father died in 1871. In the doctor's own family there are five children, Mary, James, William, Matilda and Katherine, all of whom with the mother survive him. [He has] for some time been troubled with rheumatism which had effected his heart, making his sudden death not improbable, but nevertheless it came as a very severe shock to all. On Tuesday the doctor was feeling better than he had for several days and after dinner had just finished a letter to Mrs. Millen after which ha intended to go fishing that afternoon. He stepped to the door of the hotel and handed the letter to the postman saying in his characteristic, genial way, "Here you are Uncle Sam," when almost immediately he clutched the arm of his son, James, who was at his side, and sinking into a chair, expired without a word.  He was brought that afternoon from the hotel at the lake, five miles from Bigelow, where the death occurred, and on to Clarinda on the evening train Tuesday. The funeral was held from the home yesterday afternoon at three o'clock. Mrs. Millen's sisters, Mesdames Pinkerton and Spicer, of Monmouth, Ill., arrived here yesterday morning to be present at tbe funeral.
The funeral services, were under the direction of his pastor. Rev. R M. Sturgeon, and Rev. J. W. S. Dowry, of Prescott, who was formerly his pastor. The funeral was very widely attended. The members of the Page County Medical Society which was in session here yesterday, adjourned their meeting and attended the funeral in a body, gladly doing honor to one who has been a credit to their profession. In his nearly thirty years of residences here, Dr. Millen won the respect and friendship of a very large number of Page county people who will greatly miss him.

Alma Hazel Miller, the bright little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Miller, was born May 29, 1909. She was a bright, sweet darling babe, the light of the home, loved by father and mother, whose hearts are sorrowful because she is not. On the afternoon of December 28,1911, she conquered the last enemy which is death, and the spirit has flown to God who gave it. She leaves a father, mother, five brothers and one sister, to mourn, their loss. While father and mother loved her dearly, there was one who loved her more, so Jesus took her to be with Him in that celestial city where God forever dwells. Goodbye darling one, you cannot come to us, but by God's help we can come to you. We loved thee, yes, we loved thee.
But Jesus loved thee more. And he has taken thee to be
With Him forever more.
Funeral services were held Saturday, the 30th of December, 1911, conducted by Rev. H. N. Hulse, pastor of the United Brethren church, and the little form was laid in the city cemetery, to wait the morn of the general resurrection.

Blanchard was that of Charles E. Miller, Private Company E, 168th infantry, who gave his life at Sergy, France, Aug. 1, 1918.   The body arrived here Friday evening on No. 14 and was taken to the new Memorial School building and placed in the room named and dedicated to his honor, until the funeral services Sunday afternoon at 2:30.   Two guards of honor were continuously with the remains from the time it arrived until the funeral.   Rev. H. G. Parker, the Methodist minister of Hamburg, formerly of Blanchard, at the time when the boys left here gave the splendid funeral sermon.   The Boy Scouts and a choir of several voices furnished the music.   The American Legion had full charge of the services both at the school park and at the cemetery. The soldiers in uniform marched from the Legion hall to the school park and behind   the   remains   to the cemetery. Charles Hite Miller was the oldest son of Mr and Mrs. John A. Miller, born in   Morton   township,   Page county, Iowa, Jan. 19, 1899.   He spent most of his boyhood days in and around Blanchard.   When 11 years of age he accepted Christ and became an active member in Sunday school and other church work, being a member of the Christian church of this place. He received his education in the Blanchard public school, being a graduate of the high school in the class of 1917. On April 6, 1917, was declared, and on April 9, just three days later, Charles enlisted, giving up his chance of graduating, laying down his young life; yes, young, being only 18 years old, on the altar as a sacrifice which became the Supreme sacrifice for his country that we might live in a world better suited to the advancement of God's kingdom than it had been before. He gave up prospects which looked bright for his being a great man, for he was a splendid scholar and had an intellect that far surpasses that of the average   man.    Providence however was kind to Charles and after enlisting he was allowed to return home and remain there until July 1, enabling him to finish school and be graduated with the class that sent four fine young men across the seas to battle the Hun, all being members of Company E of Shenandoah.   He was called into service July 1 and went into training at Shenandoah, leaving there Aug. 17 for Des Moines.   They left there Sept. 9 for Camp Mills, Long Island, N. Y., which meant only a few weeks' stay until they would sail for France. He was anxious to go and on Oct. 17 sailed from Hoboken for Liverpool, but for some reason or other after sailing out a few days the ship upon which he was being transported across turned back to the U. S. A. and he was permitted again to look at the Statue of Liberty, emblematic of that for which he bled and to be again on American soil.   He was disappointed, but his disappointment did not last   long   for again, on Nov. 23 he sailed for Liverpool on the ship Baltic that succeeded in getting him   to   his destination. From there he went to France and after a few months further training he proceeded to the front, taking part in the world's conflict on three fronts, Alsace    Lorrain,    Champagne    and Chateau Thiery.   On July 30 he was severely wounded at   Sergy,   France, and there poured out his life's blood on Flanders fields, dying just two later, Aug. 1.   The life   of Charles Miller was but of few years, he having been taken in the prime of life, but in those less than twenty years he has accomplished more than most of us whose days exceed his two fold or more.   Early in his childhood he developed a manliness far in excess of his years and during his   civil and military life was dauntless in purpose, courageous at all times and was the bravest of the brave.   The passing of this  noble life  challenges the best that is within us, as the pastor emphasized in his splendid sermon; the voice of his blood comes drifting across the waters from Flanders fields saying to each of us as Christ said, "My Son Arise."   After the   services   at the school park the body was taken to its final resting place, escorted by two-color bearers, two color guards, six pall bearers, six guards of honor, the firing squad, and a large number of soldiers who have a feeling as none other than those assembled or those having been assembled under the Stars and Stripes to battle for their country, can have of what the passing of a soldier means.   He leaves to mourn his death, besides his father and mother, one sister, Margaret, and one brother Fletcher, several relatives and many friends.
Almighty God receive the soul
Of this Noble, True and Brave, While his remains rest in peace In the dark and gloomy grave.
May the soul be enriched by the glory Of God,
As it was in the days of old,
And the mansion that thou hast prepared for him
Be made of the purest of gold.

Clara E. Miller, the wife of T. E. Miller, living three and one half miles south of Clarinda died Sunday night at 11:30, having given birth on Wednesday to a little boy babe, who with the father and six older children survives the mother.
Clara Ella Wilkie was born in Henry county, Ill., February 16, 1870, the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Wilkie. She came to Page county with her parents in 1876 at which time the family home was established near College Springs. Here the parents lived until their death, the father having passed away four years after their arrival here and the mother having joined him twelve years ago. There were six children in the family, Clara being the youngest. The surviving brothers and sisters are as follows: Mrs. Lizzie Marsh, Lincoln, Nebr.; Mrs. Nettie Turner, Clarinda; Mrs. Sadie Gilmore, Clarinda; Harry Wilkie, Dennison, Kane.; and Mrs. Anna Henderson, Tingley, Iowa.
Clara Wilkie was united in marriage to T. E. Miller December 4, 1889, and the family have since made their home in the same neighborhood where they now live. Two years ago in March Mr. and Mrs. Miller purchased their present home in order to be near her sisters, Mrs. Gilmore and Mrs. Turner, who live in adjoining homes. The domestic life of Mr. and Mrs. Miller was most happy, and a family of bright faced children are left in the home to comfort the bereaved husband and father. The children are Gladys, Ross, Warren, Mary, Bessie, Edgar and the little baby boy who will be one week old tomorrow.
Mrs. Miller was an ideal mother and true home maker, being of even temper and disposition, patient and buoyant under difficulties and always trusting in the Heavenly Father. She united with the Reformed Presbyterian church of Clarinda at the age of fourteen years, under the pastorate of Rev. David McKee and mantained her relations with that church until 1892, when she became a member of the United Presbyterian church of Clarinda with her husband. She has been faithful and consistent in her church relations, havings been an active member of the missionary society and the W. C. T. U. But her chief work was in the home, where she was true and devoted to her husband and children, faithful in all the many duties of wifehood and motherhood, uncomplaining under hardships and always thinking of the comfort of those about her. Truly applicable to her life were the words of Solomon, "She looketh well to the ways of her household, and eateth not the bread of idleness, her children arise up and call her blessed; her husband also, and he praiseth her."
The funeral will be held at the family home this afternoon at two o'clock, Rev. J. P. Nesbit, of the United Presbyterian church at College Springs conducting the services. The body will be laid to rest in the cemetery of the Reformed Presbyterian church. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, May 19, 1908

Mrs. Ed Miller died Sunday night at her home south of the city from an attack of urenic poison. Her illness
was of short duration as only a few hours before her passing away she was seized with terrible convulsions and never recovered. A babe was born to her May 13 and while apparently doing well this probably aggevated her long standing disease. Her taking away in the prime of life leaving seven small children motherless is indeed a very sad and pitiful affair. She was a member of the First Presbyterian church
and a woman greatly admired by all who knew  her.   The sympathy of the community goes out to the bereaved husband an the motherless children. PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, May 21, 1908

J. N. Miller received word Sunday evening from Oklahoma that his uncle, Mr. Elijah Miller, died Saturday night. He at once notified Web Miller a son living west of the city, and two brothers, Robert in this city, and Wolf Miller of Tarkio township. Monday morning Wolf and Web took the train south and on reaching St. Joseph they telegraphed to his home in Oklahoma if the remains would be brought to this city or Kingston, Mo., and receiving no reply from either place, they returned home. Mr. E. Miller was one of the pioneers of this county, having located here among the first settlers. He was an intelligent and industrious man and had warm friends to the extent of his acquaintance. For several years he filled the office of county superintendent of schools in the early days, with credit to himself and the people. He also occupied other places of public trust. Some twenty years ago he left here and located at Kingston, Mo., where resided until about two years ago when he removed to Oklahoma, where he died at the advanced age of 79 years. He was well known to all the old settlers now living in this county who will deeply mourn his demise. PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, Aug 13, 1903

Elijah Miller Dead. Last evening Mr. John Miller received a telegram informing him that his uncle, Elijah Miller, died yesterday at his home in Oklahoma. The deceased was a pioneer of Page county and will be remembered by all of our old settlers as one of the most honorable and sterling men who had to do with the shaping of the early settlement of Clarinda and Page county, for his influence was always on the right side of all questions While not in the regular work as a minister, yet he was always ready to serve his church and the people by preaching when opportunities were presented. Mr. Miller served as county surveyor for a number of years and in that connection became thoroughly familiar with all parts of the county. He was a teacher in the public schools, and also served as county superintendent for many years, thus having a grand opportunity to impress his strong individuality upon the intellectual development of this locality. He was a good man, a good citizen and his good works live after him in the lives of the people who came under his influence. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Aug 11, 1903

Elizabeth J. Acre was born in Jamestown, Ind., Nov. 9, 1855. She died July 14 1918, at her home near Siam, at the age of 62 years. While she was still a child, her parents moved to Braddyviile, where she grew to womanhood.
Elizabeth Acre became the bride of M. W. Miller, July 4, 1876, and to them were born three children, John H., Mrs. Lola Read, and W. Miller, all of this vicinity. Mrs. Miller had united with the Church of Christ in early girlhood, and has ever been an active worker and a Christian in the full meaning of the word.

MEETS DEATH ALONE
Shenandoah Man Found Pinned Under Ford Car That Went Off Bridge Into Water
Coroner Harmon Called to View Body But Decides No Inquest Would Be Necessary in Case

G. J. Miller, aged about 45, an employe of the Cooper-West Furniture Co., at Shenandoah, was killed in an automobile accident Tuesday afternoon, while on the road home from Bingham, where he had been on a sales trip with talking machine. Shortly after four o'clock Lee Payton, Harry West and Guy Drake, residents of the neighborhood, found a Ford car wrecked in a creek at the foot of a steep hill about halfway between Bingham and the Waubonsie trail. The car had evidently gone off the small bridge falling ten feet into the water and mud and on closer investigation they were startled to find a man's foot sticking up from the water under the car. Being unable to set the car right they called J. W. Hartman and L. L. Mariner, who live close by and with their assistance righted the car and released the driver, who was dead. Coroner R. E. Harmon was called and found that Miller had come to his death accidentally and no inquest was considered necessary.
About three o'clock Miller had called at the home of Will Walters at Bingham and had left there for home intending to take the Waubonsie trail. The accident was no doubt caused by losing control of the car going down the grade to where it went off the bridge. Miller was an old driver and the car was an almost new Ford roadster. Deceased has wife and family living at Shenandoah where he came recently from Norfolk, Nebr. A daughter, Mrs. Robert Allen resides in Clarinda, Mr. Allen being employed for the past three years at the Harnagle grocery.
The body was removed to the Buntz-Chapman undertaking parlors at Shenandoah but funeral arrangements have not been announced at this writing. PAGE COUNTY DEMOCRAT, Clarinda, Iowa, Nov 22, 1917

G. J. MILLER DIES UNDER HIS AUTO
Shenandoah   Man's  Ford  Runs Off Bridge, Pinning Him Under Car in Water.
Coronor Roy Harmon was called to Bingham, Tuesday afternoon, by a distressing accident, which resulted in the death of G. J. Miller, whose home is in Shenandoah. Mr. Miller sells Brunswick musical instruments for the firm of Cooper & West of Shenandoah. Tuesday he had made a trip from Shenandoah to Bingham, a distance of about six miles, and was starting home on the return trip when the accident occurred. He was headed north, driving his Ford car, with two Brunswick machines aboard, when at the bridge at the foot of the hill a quarter of a mile north of Bingham, he ran off the right side of the bridge. The car turned over, pinning him beneath it in eighteen inches of water. No one knows how the accident occurred, as there were no witnesses to the distressing happening. The first known of the accident was when Guy Drake, Lee Payton and Harry West happened along, one party coming from the north, the other from the south. They met at the bridge, and saw the wreck below. All they could see of the man was one leg sticking out from the water. Being unable to turn the car over, they called in the assistance of J. W. Hartman and L. L. Mariner, who helped turn the car over and release the unfortunate man beneath, who was dead, with a bad bruise over one eye, which possibly might have resulted in death, but it is likely that the man drowned in the water, the ear on top of him making escape impossible.
Before the accident Mr. Miller had been at the home of Will Walters, seeing them relative to the purchase of a Brunswick musical machine. The coronor after viewing the remains ordered that the body be taken to the undertaking establishment of Buntz & Chapman in Shenandoah.
The scene of the accident was on the half mile strip of roadway which extends between the small community southeast of Shenandoah called Bingham and the Waubonsie Trail at the north, at the Grant school house.
Mr. Miller was about 45 years of age. He had moved to Shenandoah but recently, being manager there for the branch house of Cooper & West, and was a musical teacher as well as salesman. He recently came from Omaha. He has three, children living, a son in the army, a daughter in Missouri, and one daughter named Mae living in Clarinda, the wife of Robert M. Allen, who clerks in Henry Harnagel's grocery store. CLARINDA HERALD, Clarinda, Iowa, Nov 22, 1917
