Dr. S.P. MILLER Buried Friday. A Valued Citizen Succumbs to Ill Health After
48 Years of Service in Adair County. Served as Health Officer.
Dr. Samuel Preston MILLER, 71 years of age, died at his home on Jamestown Street
11:30 Wednesday morning after having been seriously ill for only a few days. He
had been in declining health for several years, death being caused by a
complication of diseases. Dr. MILLER was born 21-Aug-1864 in the Crocus community,
a son of the late James P. and Sarah McCLURE MILLER. His family was one of
prominence and affluence. After receiving his early training in the schools of
Adair County he left for Louisville to study medicine. He graduated from the
University of Louisville Medical College in 1888 and returned home to practice at
Glensfork for many years before moving to Columbia. On 03-May-1888, Dr. MILLER
married Miss Susie PATTESON, daughter of Captain and Mrs. O.B. PATTESON of
Montpelier, and they had six children, all of whom survive together with their
mother. Dr. MILLER was one of the best-known men in Adair County and without doubt
one of the most beloved. His 48 years of service spent in ministering to the ills
of his fellow man, the sympathy and understanding he extended the patients and his
genial disposition endeared him to all. He never failed to answer the call of duty,
day or night, as long as he was able, and in recent years often was found at the
bedside of the sick when he should have been reserving his own strength. At the
time of his death he was County Physician. He was County Health Officer from 1917
to 1932, being succeeded by Dr. N.A. MERCER, present head of the Adair County
Health Department. Those surviving are his wife, Mrs. Susie PATTESON MILLER; the
following children, Mrs. W.L. WELCH (of) Hazard; J.P. MILLER, Miss Susan MILLER
and O.B. MILLER of Columbia; Dr. O.P. MILLER of Louisville, and Mrs. J.B. HORTON
of Beeville, TX. One sister, Mrs. A.H. BALLARD of Columbia; three brothers; N.B.
MILLER of Buffalo NY; B.S. MILLER (of) Crocus; and a number of nieces and nephews
also survive. He leaves twelve grandchildren: Russell, Margaret, Sarah Louise,
Pattie, Jean and James Oliver MILLER, children of Mr. And Mrs. J.P.MILLER; Mary
Edwards MILLER, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. O.P. MILLER of Louisville; and Mary Welch,
Billy Joe, Thelma Harper, Samuel Preston and Donald MILLER, children of Mr. and
Mrs. O.B. MILLER. Funeral services were held at the home Friday afternoon at 2:30
conducted by the Reverend Kirby SMITH, pastor of the Burkesville Christian Church,
assisted by the Reverend W.E. RICHARDSON, pastor of the Columbia Baptist Church.

MRS. H.N. MILLER Dies Suddenly.
Brief Illness Proves Fatal to Wife of Well-Known Columbia Citizen.
Mrs. Henry N. MILLER, 59 years of age, wife of a well-known businessman of this
city, died very suddenly at 6:10 O'Clock Thursday morning after having been sick
only a few days. She had been in poor health for the past two years and was able
to go out very little. A severe cold developed a few days prior to her death,
turned suddenly to pneumonia which, combined with a weakened physical condition,
brought the end very quickly. Mrs. MILLER was born at Crocus, this county,
05-Jan-1875, a daughter of James P. and Sarah A. MILLER, members of a pioneer
Adair family. She was reared at Crocus and educated in Columbia at the Male and
Female High School and the Christian College. While going to school here she met
Henry N. MILLER and their courtship culminated in marriage on 15-June-1898.
Before the wedding they bought a lot, built and furnished an attractive home, on
Burkesville Street where she lived until her death. Mrs. MILLE was avery devoted
wife and a great lover of flowers. Her home and yard had been considered one of
the most beautiful in Columbia for a number of years. She professed faith in
Christ when a very young girl but never united with any church. Funeral services
were held at the home Friday afternoon at 2 O'Clock, conducted by Reverend L.W.
DRAKE who was assisted by Reverend Perry L. STONE. Interment was in the City
Cemetery. Mrs. MILLER is survived by her husband, four brothers; A.A.MILLER,
and Dr. S.P. MILLER of Columbia, B.S. MILLER of Crocus, and N.B.MILLER of
Buffalo NY; and one sister, Mrs. A.H. BALLARD of Columbia. Another sister, Mrs.
Butler KELSAY of Glensfork died several years ago. She also leaves a number of
nieces and nephews. Active pallbearers were Bruce MONTGOMERY, Horace CUNDIFF,
Horace WALKER, Albim MURRAY, W.I. INGRAM, Horace JEFFRIES, and Eros BARGER. The
honorary pallbearers were Judge Rollin HURT, Messrs. Mont CRAVENS, and J.W. COY.

(Shane's note: I am guessing that Salley is the wife of Henry, I had Salley was born abt 1874, her sister Sarah was born abt. 1872 this person was born 05-Jan-1875).
