HENRY MILLER
Henry Miller, one of the oldest residents of this section, died at his home in Union township, one mile west of Mapleton, at 11 o'clock a.m., December 26, 1908, of senile gangrene. The gangrene resulted from an injury received to the great toe of the right foot last winter by wearing a felt boot that was to short for this foot. In April last he began to suffer from pain in the toe and from that time until death he was confined to his home, most of the time being unable to walk.
Henry Miller was the son of the late Jacob and Rachel (Dell) Miller and was born on the Miller homestead (now the property of A.K. Miller heirs) July 9, 1834, being at death aged 74 years, 5 months and 17 days. He grew to manhood on the farm and March 24, 1858, was united in marriage to Mary Wilson, and all their married life was spent in this vicinity.
To them were born twelve children, nine of them whom survive, together with his widow. The surviving children are Miss Priscilla E. Miller, of Philadelphia; Miss Rachel, at home; Thompson Miller, of Blair County; Mrs. W. H. Barkley, of Union township; Mrs. Lewis C. Corbin, of Juniata township; Mrs. Belle Grant and Isaac Miller, of Altoona; Mrs. Harry Wagner, and Wesley Miller of Mapleton.
He is also survived by two brothers- George Miller, of Union township, David B. Miller, of Mapleton, one half-brother, Gideon C. Miller, of Mead, Nebraska, and one half-sister, Miss Mary J. Miller, of Mapleton.
While a young man Mr. Miller became converted and upwards of forty years had been a member of the Mapleton United Brethren Church. When able he was always present at the services of his church and every duty he earnestly performed. He will now be rewarded for his Christian life which he spent on the earth.
The funeral was held in the U.B. church yesterday morning at 10 o'clock. The services were conducted by the pastor, Rev. G.R. Alban, assisted by Rev. J.H. Ake, of the M.E. church. Interment was made in Mountain View Cemetery.
