Biography

Miller. - Bro. Alton Miller was born in Lagrange Co., Ind., Aug. 14, 1873. He united in marriage with Polly Hostetler on the 26th day of May, 1894, and together they shared the joys and sorrows of life until he was called to his eternal reward on March 9, 1908, having lived in matrimony 13 Y., 9 M., 13 D.; aged 34 Y., 6 M., 25 D. He leaves to mourn their loss a sorrowing wife and four children, a loving father and mother, one brother and three sisters; but we trust their loss is his eternal gain. In his sixteenth year he united with the Mennonite church and remained faithful unto the end. Funeral was held on March 11 at the Shore Mennonite meeting-house where a large concourse of people met to pay the last tribute of respect to the departed brother. Services by Amos S. Cripe and Josiah Miller. Interment in the Miller burying-ground.
