Four years later she moved w.th her husband to Union, S. 0., where, on the 27th of December, lb'.H, her earthly life found a peaceful close Much might he said of our dead sister's earnest, fruitful christian life, to which living monuments are found, both within and without her family circle. Hut espcoiilly is it becoming to record her zeal iu tho cause of temperance. She was a charter member of the Division of Sons of Temperance, at Union, and later, when Union Lodg', No. 2dii: I. ().

It na? to aticml a lodge meeting that sbc went from Iter home the last time, an I was even then Buffering from titc approaches of lite fatal disease that bore Iter off a fsvr weeks later. Mrs. Miller was a lady of a very lovely character, an I made mnny friends! in this town. It was but to know her to love her. Her influence was always for good, and the Ir'dgc has to mourn her groat loss in the cause if Temperance. We honor ourselves in recording this tribute to her memory. C T. MtlBPUY, Ch'm. 1 Mas IraS.
