Barn Burned 715
The large barn on George Miller's farm about one mile north-west of Mapleton was totally destroyed by fire with all its contents by fire Wednesday evening, October 26th. How the fire originated is a mystery but the barn was a mass of flames when it was discovered. It occurred a few minutes before 7 o'clock in the evening. Mr. Miller had just finished husking corn late the same evening, and all his crop of this year and much of last year's crop was in the barn. The estimate of contents is as follows: fifteen tons of hay, 175 bushels of wheat, over 100 bushels of oats, about 20 bushels of buckwheat, between three and four hundred bushels of corn, a lot of cornfodder, a lot of straw, three plows, mower, hayrake and a reaper belonging to Joseph Grove. In the stables were Mr. Miller's four mules which have been frequently been pronounced the best mule team in the county. He refused $400 for two of these but a short time ago. These animals perished and all the harness was burned. The house and other buildings were saved by the exertion of the bucket brigades.

GEORGE MILLER
George Miller, who almost eleven years ago, sustained a stroke of paralysis, died at his home one mile northwest of Mapleton at 8:25 o'clock, Tuesday morning, September 19, 1916.
Deceased was a son of the late Jacob and Rachel (Dell) Miller and was born in Trough Creek valley May 23, 1831, hence was aged 85 years, 3 months and 26 days. All his life he was a resident of Union township. August 18, 1853 , he was united in marriage to Miss Elizabeth Buckley, of Shirley township. To this union were born seven children of whom three are living. They are Mrs. (Alice) D. E. Parker, of Juniata, Jacob H. of Mapleton and Miss Annie at home. Those deceased are Jennie, intermarried with George W. Morgan, who died in December ,1905, Allen B. who died May 15, 1913, John L. who died July 26, 1913 and Ella, who was killed by a passenger train at Mapleton, the evening of February 7, 1885. Mrs. Miller died April 1, 1878. He is also survived by one brother David B. Miller, of Mapleton; and one sister, Mrs. Leah Beaty, widow of George W. Beaty, of Shirley township; also by one Half-brother, Gideon C. Miller, of Meade, Nebraska. , and one half-sister, Miss Mary J. Miller, of Mapleton.
Mr. Miller, soon after his marriage purchased a small piece of land in Hares valley, one and one-half miles southwest of Mapleton (now in part owned by Jesse Boring) and lived there until 1873 when he purchased the Joshua Jones farm to which he moved his family in 1874 and which has since been home. In the meantime he lived on the M.F. Campbell place. The Miller home was always a hospitable place and it was a rare day when there were no visitors there. The glad hand was always extended to friends and strangers. Mr. Miller, like his ancestors, was fond of the chase. He was one of the best woodsmen we have ever known and was a hardworking, industrious man and a splendid farmer. He was scrupuously honest in all his transactions and was held in high esteem by all who knew him. In early life he was converted at the Methodist Episcopal altar but never united with any church. During the long years of his invalidism he was happy, cheerful and trustful. The community has lost a good man and a good neighbor.
Funeral services will be held at the home tomorrow afternoon and will be conducted by Rev. H.T. Covert after which the remains will be interred in Mountain View Cemetary.
