FRED G. MILLER CALLED BY DEATH THIS MORNING
Fred Miller, Scotia business man, and a highly respected citizen, passed away at his home in Scotia early this morning. The exact time of Mr. Miller's death is not known, except that it was some time between three o'clock and seven o'clock.
Mr. Miller had suffered a quite severe stroke of paralysis about two months ago, but had practically recovered from it. He has been coming down to his studio every day and was down town only last night, apparently feeling as well as usual.
When he did not answer the call for breakfast this morning at seven o'clock, Mrs. Miller went to his room and found that he had passed away. He had evidently gone quietly as he was laying in bed as he would while sleeping. He had gotten up at three o'clock and had gone back to bed.
Mr. Miller and his family moved to the vicinity of Scotia from Talmadge about seven years ago. He leaves to mourn his death his wife and five children. He was 70 years of age.
The community of Scotia has lost a good citizen and will deeply mourn his departure.
Funeral services have not been arranged as yet.

FRED G. MILLER
Fred G. Miller was born at Richland Center, Wisconsin, May 10, 1858, and passed from this life last Thursday morning at the age of 69 years, 4 months and 26 days. Mr. Miller when a boy moved with his parents from Wisconsin to the eastern part of this state where he lived the greater part of his life until coming here about 8 years ago. Since that time he has been a resident of this community.
Mr. Miller leaves besides his wife to survive him his five children Pearl, Edith, Mrs. Lydia Coyle of Pittsburg, Penn., Raymond and Arthur. He also leaves four brothers, Theodore, of Penn., Emil of Montana, Hermon (sic) of Utah, and Phillip of Scotia. One sister, Mrs. John Schoemaker. A number of distant relatives and a host of friends.
Mr. and Mrs. Miller were married a little more than 36 years ago and began making their home in the little town of Avoca of this state.While there he joined the church and assumed an active part in its work. He was a thorough believer in Christ and dedicated his life to the interest of His kingdom.
Mr. Miller was a great worker in the Sunday school and taught Sunday school classes all his life. His unwavering faith in God and in God's Word gave him an experience that helped him in the interpretation of the Scriptures. He was well versed in the knowledge of the Scriptures and he always had a thought to add to a Sunday school lesson. He will be greatly missed in the prayer meeting to which he was a regular attendant. His fine, congenial spirit was always appreciated in any religious meeting. It can truly be said of him, he fought a good fight, he has finished his course, he has kept the faith, and that there is a crown waiting him on the other shore. We believe that Brother Miller was ready to go. What a wonderful thing it is to live so that one is ready at any moment. He went to bed not certain that he would not see the light of another day. A brother has lived- he has given us his best and has been called home.
Interment was made at Mr. Hope Cemetery. Rev. G. A. Randall in charge.
