Miller, John
Fortified by the last rites of Holy Church there passed away at Placentia on July 28^th, one of its most esteemed residents in the person of John Miller. The deceased has reached his 64^th year and was suffering for some time. As a young man, he emigrated to America in search of employment. There by his industry and thrift he succeeded in acquiring sufficient capital to enable him to return to his hometown and start in business. In the course of 21 years his general retail store became one of the most flourishing of its kind in Placentia, due to his hard work and perseverance. About a year ago he was stricken with a serious malady but a naturally robust constitution gave rise to hopes for his eventual recovery. In order to give himself every possible chance he retired from business activities. Soon, realizing that he was fighting a losing battle and seeing the end drawing nearer every day he prepared to meet his God with the true resignation of a Christian soul. Gradually his emaciated frame became weaker and when the end arrived, it was welcomed, the disposition of the departing soul making one easily understand the greeting of the grand Fr. Francis Assisi---"Welcome sister death"-- .
He was a man of broad views and was highly respected in the potent place where his example was potent for good and where he will be sorely missed. He leaves to mourn a wife and one brother, Andrew, who resides at Boston. To these we tender our heartfelt sympathies.
