Obituary
HENRY A. MILLER
Sunday, Sept. 19, Henry Miller passed away at his home in Berne in his 90th year. In failing health for several years, his friends noted the increasing weakness after an operation resulting in loss of one leg, and the end was not expected.
He was a life-long resident of the towns of Berne and Knox, a familiar and respected presence in the locality and a loyal friend to all. He was a successful farmer and speculator and after his retirement several years ago, spent winters in Florida.
In January, 1905, his marriage to Anna B. Gibbs marked the beginning of an ideal union which was blessed with two sons, Hubert H. Miller of East Berne and Chester A. Miller of Berne, both successful farmers, who survive. His widow, Anna B. Gibbs, 13 grandchildren, and seven great-grandchildren survive.
In early life he united with St. Paul's Lutheran Church of Berne, of which he was a loyal member, having served several years on the Church COuncil. He was also a member of Berne Tent, K. O. T. M. No. 770, and several other organizations and ever an active supported of all community projects.
Funeral services were held on Wednesday afternoon from the Brunk Funeral Home in Berne with Rev. James D. Keller officiating. Burial was in Knox Cemetery.
