The funeral services over the remains of the late Dr. J.M. Miller were held in the First Presbyterian church yesterday afternoon at 4 o'clock by Rev. Edward Mack. The church was filled with a large concourse of friends. Mr. Mack read several passages of Scripture appropriate to the sad occasion, and spoke briefly on how we are to overcome the shadows that darken our lives. The only way, he said, was by an implicit faith in Christ, and believing that He doeth all things well. After the service the remains were taken to Elmwood and interred.

A WELL-KNOWN PHYSICIAN DEAD.
Dr. J. M. Miller Found Dead in Bed Thursday Morning - The Remains to Be Brought Here Today.
Dr. J. M. Miller, formerly of this city, was found dead in his bed
Thursday morning at his home in Hopewell. He had been complaining
slightly for several days, but was apparently in his usual health when he retired Wednesday night. Dr. Miller was about 65 years of age. He was born near Yorkville, S. C., and lived there until grown. Before the war he moved to Pineville, and was lieutenant in the Mecklenburg Dragoons under Capt. Jack Harris. 'Squire S. H. Hilton, of this city, was a member of his company. When the war broke out he
resigned his position in the Dragoons and raised a cavalry company, of which he was made Captain. He retained this position until his health failed and he was compelled to leave the army.
"He was one of the bravest soldiers in the army," remarked several of his old comrades Thursday evening, in discussing his death. "He would fight a whole regiment himself if necessary. A man absolutely without fear."
Dr. Miller began the practice of medicine immediately after returning
from the war, locating in Pineville. From there he came to Charlotte, and for years was the leading physician of this place. He lived in the building formerly known as Hand's Bar, where the city hall now stands. As a physician he was very successful, but adversity overtook him when he entered into mercantile life, and he lost the greater part of his property. His health began to fail, and for years he has been very feeble.
For several years he has lived on a plantation in Hopewell, and was rarely seen in the city, but those who had known him in better days, still cherished for him a warm friendship and personal regard, and news of his death yesterday was received with genuine regret by a large number of friends. Dr. Miller's first wife was an aunt of Mr. Robert Dunn, of this city. His second wife was Miss Jennie, daughter of Mr. A. B. Davidson, who died several years ago, leaving two children, who still survive.
