Obituary Harvey Milton, son of Charles and Mary J. Ellrod, was born May 6, 1869, in Perryville, Ind., and came to Montgomery county early in life. Having connected himself with the United Brethren church near Crawfordsville in 1884, he was thus a servant of that body for fifteen years. He was married to Julia A. Summers, Sept. 20, 1891, and of this marriage four children have been given, two boys and two girls. He was called from earthly labors September 17, 1899, thus being 30 years, four months and eleven days of age. During the past months he has been a great sufferer, but has borne it patiently. A remark from one of his neighbors is expressive of his fortitude. He said: "Many a day has Harvey labored for me in pain, and many a day of suffering to him will never be known to man." He bore his burden meekly and quietly. He was never rugged in body, but seldom forced to his couch by sickness. His mind gave strong evidences of originality and turned not away from spiritual training. He sought peace with his Saviour and found it. Affectionately bidding his family farewell he passed into the presence of his Lord. A.S.B.
