MARY ELIZABETH MILLER Mary Elizabeth Miller was born Feb. 17, 1844, at Miller's mill near Dillsboro, Ind.and died very unexpectantly at the home of her sister Mrs. Emma Schmolsmire, Greencastle, Indiana, friday April 16, 1909.

James McCall, for a few years previous to her death, she had been a member of the Mt. Tabor Church. she was a student of Moores Hill College graduating in the class of '68. She made her home with her sister's Mrs. Anna Sawdon and Mr.s Emma Scholsmire since the death of her parents; who preceded her to the heavenly home some twenty years. At the time of her death she was a member of the Mt. Tabor missionary, and Pleasant View Grange. She was devoted to her church and for many years was a teacher in the Dillsboro Sabbath School. She was very much attached to the Missionary Society, looking forward from one meeting to the next to the pleasure of going, and at the time of her death plannig to come home for the next one, having written she would be there. She was of a tim! id, retiring dispostion, but so gentle and lovable she held a large place in the hearts of all who knew her. She loved everybody but especially the children, each child being a favorite with "Aunt May". She was happy and content in seeking others happiness before her own, truly her life was patterned after the Master's. Wher ever she went the blessing of her patient, cheery life was felt and, not one, but, many home's will be the sadder that "Aunt May" will come no more. She was the first called home of a family of eight children, leaving Dr. C.B. Miller, Helena Mont., J.G. Miller, Ft.
