Notes

Mr. Miller came from his native community to Pana, III., when he was 18 years old. For more than thirty years he was an employee of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, where he was always honored and trusted because he was always efficent and fallhful.

Under the ministry of Evangelist Dixon C. Williams he made public profession of faith in Christ at Pana, Illinois in the fall of 1889, and at once united wilh the Methodlst Episcopal Church. At the time of his removal to Flora fifteen years ago he transferred his membership to Flora. He was a quiet, earnest Christian, liberal in his support of the church and all its enterprises, and a faithful attendant as long as his health would permit. Hiss health began to fall about five years ago, but he remained at his post until about fifteen months since. Though unable to work he slill insisted on attending the church services as often as possible. During his last sickness he often expressed his faith in Christ and gave every assurance that he was ready lo meet death as a Christian with courage and fortitude.

His suffering was long and intense, and every thing that medical and surgical skill could do was done but to no avail. During his intense suffering he was patient and sweetspirited always seeing the bright side of things. Although weak in body he was cheerful and bright for the sake of his loved ones. He appreciated the company of friends and neighbors.
