Death of Mrs. Miller--Mrs. Amelia J. Miller whose serious illness has been noted heretofore in these columns passed peacefully away from the scenes of earth this morning at six o'clock, just as the streaks of light were ushering in another day.

She was the sister of Mayor Watson, Mrs. John Wall, Dr. J. H. Watson, Wm. Watson and Thos. P. Watson.

She leaves a family of seven grown children who are thus deprived of the counsel and advice of a devoted and kind mother, a large circle of friends who will realize the loss of a plain unassuming christian woman in the community who unostentatiously performed many kind acts, and a broken family circle from whose decimated ranks another beloved one's voice has been stilled in death.

Many years ago Mrs. Miller was left a widow with a large family to care for. She was devoted to her children and was untiring in her efforts for their welfare.

She was born April 17, 1833, and died December 21, 1892, aged 59 years, 8 months and 4 days.

The funeral will occur tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock from the M. E. church, with interment at Old Union cemetery.
