    John Frederick Miller
    John Frederick Miller was born on a farm near Valencia, Kansas, March 21, 1895, and passed away at Greeley, Colo.; May 4, 1933, aged 38 years, 1 month and 14 days.

    After the death of his father in 1910, he lived with his brother, George, for a time. He enlisted in the World War October 29, 1917, serving most of the time in the Hawaiian Islands, receiving his discharge on the 20th of October 1919.

    He was united in marriage to Blanche Elizabeth Smith August 4, 1922. To this union two children were born, Russell, who died in infancy, and Billy, age 9. Besides his widow and son he leaves to mourn his going three sisters, and four brothers: Mrs. Arthur Rogers, Mrs. Ralph Grant, and Frank Miller, of Willard; Bert and Earl Miller of Valencia; Mrs. May Morehead, of Eskridge; George N. Miller, of Greeley, Colo.; also one half brother and three half-sisters, Ray Miller of Ohio; Mrs. Geraldine Smith, Kansas City; Mrs. Ray Franks, and Lena Miller of Seattle, Wash.; nine nieces and ten nephews; a host of relatives and friends.

    Funeral services were held at the Federated Church at Dover, Saturday afternoon, May 6, in charge of Rev. Horton, of Rossville. There was a large attendance of former neighbors and friends. The pall bearers were Joe Parr, Tom Scott, Cary Crow, Ralph Moyer, Charles Holtrick, Earl Jackson.

    Music consisted of two duets by Mrs. Mary Winters and Ray Firestone, and a solo by Tom Scott, all accompanied by Mrs. Mona Winters at the piano.

    Interment was made in the Dover cemetery. A legion rifle squad from Rossville, including Joe Navarre, S. B. Stumbaugh, Ernest Tschantz, Tom Dean, Ernest Swearingen, and Clyde Strimple, fired a salute at the grave, and Marvin Davis sounded taps.

    Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Vorhies were down from Delia, last Friday to attend the funeral of her cousin, John Miller held at the Dover Federated church.

    CARD OF THANKS – We desire to express our deep gratitude to all those who shared so sympathetically and helpfully in the burden of the long illness and death of our husband and father; especially to the Legion boys for their timely assistance; also for floral offerings and the comfort of music.

    Mrs. Blanche Miller and Billy.
