    George N. MILLER

    BIRTH: April 11, 1863
    DEATH: January 1887
    PARENTS: Nathan MILLER
    BURIAL: Shupe Cemetery, Lacona, Iowa

    Indianola Weekly Herald newspaper, Indianola, Iowa, Thursday, Feb 3, 1887, p. 3, col. 4: "On the last Lords day, George MILLER, son of Nathan MILLER deceased, was buried in the Shupe cemetery. He had suffered for two or three years with bronchitis which terminated in consumption. Last fall he went west hoping to receive benefit from the change of climate, but after a short stay grew worse, and came home realizing that his stay on earth must be brief. A short time before his death he was baptized in the Dunkard Faith, then he made his will, thus setting all things in readiness, and calmly awaited the solemn change. George was an exemplary young man, respected by all, and his loss will be felt in the neighborhood. He was twenty three years of age. Rev. Garver, a Dunkard preacher from near Leon, conducted the funeral services."
