DEATH OF MRS, JAMES MILLER, ON LICK CREEK.
MILLER, Malissa (Wilson) —- On June 22, 1916, death made its inroad into the home of James Miller and took from him his dear loving companion. Often we hear many good things said about our friends after death that are not said while living, but not so with Malissa Miller, because she lived up to the faith she had in her blessed redeemer and her every day walks in life proved her to be the woman she professed to be, and while in this world there were many good things said of her by her neighbors and friends as well as after death.
I have known Malissa 20 years, lived a neighbor to her and always found her to be a true devoted Christian. I have met with her in meetings in the class room, in prayer service, and in the Sunday school and she was always ready to do her part and bear the cross in whatever fell to her to do. She was converted when quite young and was baptized and lived a consistent Christian until death.
Her home was always the home of the preacher when coming to our place to hold church. She was ready to invIte them home with her and care for them. To know Malissa was to love her and she was loved by
all that knew her. She was a kind companion and loving mother. A chri tian mother makes a happy home.
She was sick for nearly two years and bore it with christian fortitude, never complaining, but would often say I wish the Lord would come and take me home. When neighbors and friends would gather in to see her, she would have them to sing and pray while she would shout and sing praises to God and tell them it would not be long until she would cross over and meet with loved ones in the sweet by and by and would sing *We shall sing on that beautiful shore," "The melodious songs of the Blest," "And our Spirits shall sorrow no more," "Not a sigh for the blessing of rest."
She was married to James Miller, Jan 9, 1889, at the Baptist Church, Lower Lick Creek, by old Bro. William Christian. To this union 8 children were born, 2 boys and 6 girls, all living except little James, who died when quite young.
She was the daughter of Mordecai Wilson.
I want to say to you children, weep not as those that have no hope, for your mother has gone to the glory world where parting will be no more. Prepare to meet mother in heaven. Her place Is vacant at the fireside, at the table and the entire home. No one to cherish in time of sorrow and trouble, but look forward to the day when you will meet her again. Be good children and mind your papa for he will not tell you anything wrong for he is a good man.
She was laid to rest in the Uncle Dock Miller graveyard after a short service at the old home with large crowd of relatives and friends by Revs. Rickman and Burgess. Her funeral will be preached in the near future.
