Died – after a protracted illness, in the city of Chicago, Ill, January 7th, 1866, our mother, Anna Maria MILLER, aged 55 years and 6 months. In deploring her loss, we rejoice that she has been spared longer suffering by being sent to join her husband, our father, who went to glory a year previous. Requiescat in peace. – J.B. and H.F.M.
