SEMI-WEEKLY INTERIOR JOURNAL, STANFORD, KENTUCKY, TUESDAY, JULY 1, 1902

Thus one by one our oldest and best citizens take their final leave - one by one the Confederate veterans receive their final discharge. John Harris Miller was born on the banks of Dix river in Lincoln county about 70 years ago and died suddenly yesterday morning. His father, Col. James Miller, was easily among the first citizens of Central Kentucky, a gentleman of education, wealth, high moral character and open-hearted hospitality. He gave to each of his children opportunities for collegiate education. In early life Mr. Miller attended Centre College, but we are not advised that he graduated. When Gen. Bragg entered Kentucky in September 1862, he enlisted in Co. B. (Capt. Tom Shanks) 6th Ky. Cavalry, (Col. Warren Grigsby). He enlisted as a private and from choice remained a private. He was an excellent soldier as all his surviving comrades attest. In 1894 he was appointed by President Cleveland consul to the Falkland Islands. He remained in the service at the post until he was removed a few years later by President McKinley. He was a not infrequent contributor to local papers of racy, humorous articles under the nom de plume - "Happy Jack." He possessed a fine vein of humor and his style was his own. A kindly disposition, a brave, true heart, a steadfast friend, without envy, malice or deceit, his old friends and neighbors will miss his cheery greeting, and his old comrades in arms will sadly realize that another link in their chain is broken. In old Buffalo Cemetery, overlooking the quaint town he called his home, his remains will rest. May they rest peacefully! In the Lord's way and at His time, may he rise immortal!
The burial will occur in Buffalo Cemetery at 4 o'clock this afternoon after short services at the grave.
About six months ago Mr. Miller selected the following pall bearers who will officiate: James Dudderar, Watt M. Dudderar, W.H. Dudderar, Samuel Dudderar, W.H. Traylor and David Scott. He called them "Goshen friends."
