AGED LADY DIED TODAY
Mrs. Mary Miller, beloved wife of Mr. John Miller, passed away
early this morning at her home near Excello aged 74 years.
She was the mother of eight children, four of whom survive her, Mr.
Charles M. Miller and Mrs. Laura Forster, of this city, Mrs. Lela Lloyd,
of Philadelphia, Pa., and Mrs. Stella Taylor of Pittsburg, Pa.
She died at 5 o’clock this morning just with the awakening life of a
new day she went to sleep like a tired child. Surely a most fitting time
for a pure spirit to take its flight heavenward. With the eye of faith
one could see at the dawn of this memorable January day an invisible
hand wave a signal and a voice in softest accent on the morning breeze,
announce that the gates were open and that God’s angels were waiting to
escort her in.
The funeral will take place Friday afternoon at 1:30 o’clock from
Broadway M. E. Church of which she has been a member the most of her
life. Rev. Pumphrey will conduct the services. Interment in Woodside
cemetery.

At Rest In Beautiful Woodside
The funeral services of Mary Miller took place from the Broadway M. E.
church at 1:30 p.m. today. Rev. Charles Pumphey, the officiating
minister, conducted the services in an impressive manner as he told of
the noble woman, who has been a life-long member of that church. The
sweet and solemn music of the singers touched every heart. After the
service the sad cortege wended its way on to beautiful Woodside where
with tender and loving hands she was consigned to mother earth. |
