VIOLA MILLER was born in Topeka, Kansas, on January 15, 1869 the second of eight children born into the home of August and Clarissa Miller, and she died on May 1, 1969 at the age of 100 years at Broken Bow, Nebraska. She had been receiving care in the Rest Haven Nursing Home in Broken Bow for the past four years.

She lived in Kansas, until moving in the year 1885 to Custer County, Nebraska.

She was united in marriage to Harrison Pease on September 3, 1886 at Arnold, Nebraska. They lived on farms and ranches in this area until Harrison's health forced him to retire, at which time they moved into Arnold, Nebraska. Mr. Pease died on June 1, 1935. There were no children born into their home.

Were Mrs. Pease to have written an account of herself, she could have told much of her pioneer days, of covered wagons and sod houses, of bitter winters and dry summers and of tense moments with Indians and of God's care through it all.

She was a member of the First Baptist Church of Arnold and was a charter member of the Arnold Rebekah Lodge No. 325. Her death rings down the final curtain of another chapter in the pioneer history of Arnold and of Custer County, Nebraska.

She was preceded in death by her parents, by her husband Harrison Pease, two brothers, Edmond and Frank Miller and two sisters, Clara and Matilda.

She leaves to mourn her passing three sisters, Mrs. Kathi Callahan age 102 years of Orange, California, Mrs. Minnie Zierlein and Mrs. Fannie Croughwell both of Arnold, Nebraska, and several nieces and nephews and a host of friends.
