WILLIAM P. MILLER
Last Friday, William P. Miller, who had suffered a long illness from some stomach trouble, passed into rest, at the age of 56 years. He was one of the early settlers, having purchased on contract, Mar. 24, 1871, section 14 the n 1/2 of 28 and the s 1/2 of 9, all in 14-2, and taking deed for same Mar. 23, 1870. He was a man of strong convictions, unspotted integrity, thoroughly reliable in all his relations in life, and a pillar in the Evangelical Lutheran church. He was a man whose death entails a sense of loss upon the whole county. He leaves a wife, two sons and two daughters to mourn his departure.

In Memoriam
Mr. Wiliam P. Miller was born in Clarion Co., Pa., August 21st, 1831; died at his home, 4 miles east of Rising, Neb., May 13th, 1887, aged 55 years, 8 mo. and 22 days.
The deceased deserves more than passing notice. His progressive spirit was not content among the hills of Pennsylvania. In 1850 when nineteeen years of age, he came to Stephenson Co., Ill. Here by hard, patient toil and diligence in business, he accumulated considerable wealth, married and raised a family; sending his boys to Carthage college to be educated. He was intensely interested in education and reform. He helped to organize and build the Salem Lutheran church in Stephenson Co., Ill.
In 1880 Mr. Miller with his family came to this county, and at once commenced to improve the land that he had previously bought, and to identify himself with the best progressive spirit of the west.
Mr. Miller was indeed "a workman that seedeth not to be ashamed," as these seven years visibly show. First, at his home, being one of the most comfortable farm residences in the state, where a wife and four children, two sons and two daughters, mourn a faithful husband and loving father; secondly, in the Lutheran church, of which he was a consistent member until death. It is largely due to Bro. Miller's activity, energy and benevolence, that the congregation at Rising City was organized and the substantial church building erected. He was elder and treasurer of this congregation from the beginning.
From the nature of his disease, his sufferings were very great, but he bore them with Christian resignation. Thus ended a short but exceedingly active and useful life.
Rev. L. L. Lipe, of the Woman's Memorial Lutheran church, of Lincoln, assisted the pastor, Rev. B. F. Pugh, at the funeral from the spacious home on Sabbath, May 13th, and preached very appropriately to an immense gathering of neighbors and friends, from Jer. II, 50, last clause: Let Jerusalem come into your minds.

At a special meeting of the church council of the First Lutheran church of Rising City, Neb., held May 18th, 1887, the following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted:
WHEREAS: It has pleased the Almighty God in his all wise providence to call from our midst our dear brother, William P. Miller, a highly esteemed member of the church and its council: Therefore,
Resolved: That in the death of Bro. Miller the church has lost an active, earnest, Christian friend and worker, whose place cannot easily be filled in the church council or in the congregation, and that we hereby bear our most cheerful testimony to his excellent Christian character and worth.
Resolved: That we bow submissively to the will of our Heavenly Father to this removal; knowing that our loss will be his eternal gain.
Resolved: That we are by his death, admonished of our own mortality, and anew called to be ready for the Master's coming.
Resolved: That we tender the stricken family of our brother our sincere Christian sympathy, and pray to God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, to comfort them in their deep sorrow, and cheer them in the hope of immortal blessedness.
Resolved: that these resolutions be spread upon the minutes of this council, and copies be sent to the church and county papers for publication.
