JAS. M. MILLER PASSED AWAY AT THE HOME OF HER SON, JOE D. MILLER AUGUST 15. Mary C. Parker was born April 11, 1832, in Ashtabula county, Ohio, died Aug. 15, 1917, at the home of her son, Joseph D. Miller, near Wellman, Iowa, aged 85 years, 4 months and 4 days. When a girl she moved with her parents from Ashtabula county, Ohio, to Bloomington, Ill., where she was united in marriage to James M. Miller July 4, 1850. To this union were born fourteen children, namely Rosa Hoyt, deceased, Clara Cochran, of Hill City, Kan.; Chauncey C.

The seven children that are still living were to see her during her sickness, five being at her bedside when death claimed her as a victim. In 1854, with her husband, she moved to a farm in Iowa county, Ia. where her husband died in 1904. After her husband's death she made her home at the old homestead with her son, Sylvester, until May 5, 1917 when she was taken ill and removed to the home of her son, Joseph W., where she was tenderly cared for during her three months sickness. At the age of thirteen she confessed Christ as her savior and united with the Baptist church. After her marriage she with her husband were among the founders of the Champion __ Methodist Episcopal church, with which she untied in membership and was a faithful member of the church militant until called to join the church triumphant. Thus another pioneer is gone from our midst, but our loss is her gain she leaves to mourn their loss, the seven children, thirty-four grandchildren, thirty-six great grandchildren, and a host of friends. Funeral services were held August 16, 1917, from the Champion ___ M.E. church, conducted by Rev. (unclear) A. Worrell, of Amish, Iowa, after which her body was tenderly laid to rest in the Champion Hill.
