Bernyce Eleanor Miller was the only child of Frank and Maude Osterday Miller. She was born on a farm a mile east of Mulberry on July 1, 1909, and at the time of her demise she was 21 years 4 months and 14 days of age. During the pastorate of Rev. A. L. Brandenburg she united with the local Methodist church and became an energetic worker in the various activities of the church and Sunday school.
On November 8, 1929, she was united in marriage with Loyal Troxel. To this union was born a daughter, Patricia Eleanor, the name having been chosen by the mother whose life was sacrificed on the altar of motherhood.
Mrs. Troxel had a premonition that she would not survive the ordeal that was facing her as indicated by requests she made before going to the hospital. She left a request for Rev. Brandenburg to conduct her funeral service, and she selected the hymns she wished used at the service.
The funeral service was conducted at the Methodist church, Tuesday afternoon, by Rev. Brandenburg, assisted by Rev. C. R. Earle. A quartet composed of Mrs. R. A. Burris, Mrs. Wm. Rothenberger, V. Bryan and Chester Peter sang the songs which had been chosen. It was one of the largest funerals ever held in this community, the seating capacity of the church having been taxed to the limit.
