      Obituary of Mary Ellen Miller from article on her death at the Railroad tracks

      Mary Ellen Miller was born October 2nd, 1867, making her just 17 years, 4 months and 5 days old at the time of her death. She was the youngest of the family and the pet of the household. She was magnificently formed and was very pretty. She was a great reader and was quite intelligent. She was a member of the the writer's Sunday school class and her seat was seldom vacant. She was a favorite in the community and will be sadly missed. The family is overcome with grief. All bear it tolerably well. Miss Jennie is much dejected in sprits and suffers great nervous prostration. The injured sister, Annie, was told of Ella's death on Monday and she bears up under the stroke herocially. Ella's remains were taken to the Nebo cemetary. in Shirley township, on Tuesday and interred by the side of the mother, who died April 1878. Notwithstanding the day was very stormy a great company of sorrowing firnds and relatives followed the remains to their last resting place. The services at the church were conducted by Revs. T.P. Orner and L.F. Smith and were very impressive. This Thursday morning Annie is resting nicely and there is no doubt but what she will recover. We extend our sympathies to the bereaved and afflicted family.
