Jacob Martin Miller, son of Emanuel and Nancy Miller, was born in Van Buren township, Darke county, June 19, 1862, and died at his home in Greenville, October 2, 1908, at the age of forty-six years, eight months and thriteen days.

He was reared on the farm and lived there until his marriage to Clara J. Trick, October 4, 1884, and for fourteen years they lived on Mr. Miller's family farm, after which they moved to Greenville, where they have since lived.

He was an esteemed member of the Lodge of Knights of Pythias, first in the Gettysburg Lodge and later moving his membership to the Greenville Lodge.

Several weeks before his death he sent for the pastor of ther Christian Church and decided to make a confession of his Savior, and place his membership in the church, and on the 16th day of September, he was received into the Greenville Christian Church, and the following day received the ordinance of baptism.

He was a great sufferer for many months before his death, and he bore it all with the greatest fortitude and patience, those nearest him never heard a word of complaint from him although he suffered death over and over.

He made his own arrangements for the funeral and when the end came went calmly to sleep with Jesus. He leaves a wife, nine children, three brothers and sisters, besides many other relatives and a host of friends to mourn his departure, but we feel that he is not dead, but sleeping. Oh, what a blessed comfort. He always had a smile for those around him. He was buried on his twentieth-fourth wedding day. It was a very sad anniversary, but God's will be done, and...
