This is Obit 12 in a series I will be posting online. These obituary columns, cut from newspapers of the time period, were found pasted in an ancient dust-covered book at a yard sale I attended in Louisville KY. I'm posting them verbatim in the hopes they will benefit others. I have no further information and have no connection to any of these names. I have no information about which newspapers the original columns were in or the year of publication. Obit 12: Margaret Emily (Chastain) MILLER, 1904, KY Obituary Margaret Emily CHASTAIN was born in Logan County, Kentucky, September 4, 1834, was married to Samuel D. MILLER in Warren county, Kentucky, October 24, 1853.. They came to Benton County in the fall of 1859 and settled near this place, and have lived in and around Lincoln for forty-five years. Sister MILLER professed religion in 1852; joined the M. E. Church, South, in 1854. For over fifty years she has been a consistent Christian and follower of her blessed Lord. After seventy years in this life and fifty-two years in the service of God she has stacked her arms in the church militant and joined the church triumphant. After a long siege of sickness and suffering, on September 9, 1904, she quietly breathed her last and peacefully passed over the river of death until her eternal reward. She leaves an aged companion, one son, a number of relatives and many friends to mourn her departure. But we sorrow not as those who have no hope. Like many of us she loved to live; but when the time came she was ready to die. The writer delivered her funeral discourse to a large concourse of sorrowing friends, and we laid her to rest in the Lincoln cemetery to await the resurrection, when both soul and body shall be re-united, and we shall meet her again in our Father’s house on high, where parting shall be no more and where congregations ne’er break up. "O how sweet it will be in that beautiful land, So free from all sorrow and pain, With songs on our lips and with harps in our hands To meet one another again!" J. A. JARED
