Source: Crawfordsville Weekly Journal, 5 May 1899
Mrs John Miller, formerly of this county, is dead. Several years ago she lived with her husband on the Terre Haute road, he being toll-gate keeper there for a long time. The Lebanon Patriot says: "Catherine J. Miller, wife of John S. Miller, living three miles north of Lebanon, died at her home April 20, 1899, at the age of sixty-three years, four months and ten days. She was a native of Floyd county, Indiana, near Greenville, where she was born December 10, 1835. Her marriage to Mr. Miller occurred March 13, 1856, and one son and two daughters have blessed the union. Mrs. Miller joined the Methodist church about 1868. She was a constant sufferer from heart and stomach trouble for several months and had to be attended regularly. She was very solicitous of the welfare of those who attended her and often expressed the hope that they would be rewarded in heaven for their kindness. She expressed a readiness to answer the summons of death as a relief from suffering. . The family will miss a kind companion, a loving mother, one who cared for the wants of others before self. Funeral at Bethel cemetery April 23, 1899, services conducted by Rev. John Thompson." - Kim H
