Miller, Paul Raymond –

Paul Raymond Miller was born January 29, 1916 and died Tuesday March 24 at 9:30 p.m.

 

His sickness was rather long and hard to manage as pneumonia always is.  Everything was done by the loving parents and grandparents and other relatives and friends that could be done.  He was even removed to an hospital in St. Joseph, but the disease had materialized with such a peculiar form that nothing could be done.  However, we always have the consciousness of the fact that we have done all that loving hands could do and this always brings more or less comfort.

 

Raymond was always interested in Sunday school and always eager to read Sunday school literature.  He was a good boy.

 

There are some things in this life that perplex us but God permits the perplexities of the world to draw us closer to Him.  We cannot understand why Raymond should have been taken so young m life, but God had a

Purpose in it, and we receive Peace and happiness in being reconciled to the will of God.

 

He had many relatives and friends who mourn his death. We mention some by name: his loving parents, Mr. and Mrs. Port Miller of Sharpsburg, five brothers and one sister, Lola Lucille, Leo Merle, Clarence Marvin, Louis Edwin, Jesse Elvin, and Howard Waldean.  His grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Will Pfander of Sharpsburg, and Mr. and Mrs. Frank Miller of Bedford.  His uncles, Clyde Pfander, Ira Pfander, and Burl Pfander, all of Sharpsburg, Roy Miller of Hopkins, Mo., Arthur Miller of Conway, and Rolla Miller of Bedford.  His aunts, Mrs. J.
