• Documents		Obituary- Miller, Laura In loving memory of our dear mother and grandmother, Mrs. Laura Miller, who passed away two years ago, November 9th, 1925. The looms of life weave fast and sure With threads of joys and sorrows The longing of the yesterdays. With fond hopes of tomorrows, The golden thread in the cloth of life That none can touch or sever, Is the lasting love of mother's heart, That holds all else together. Sadly missed by her daughter, Mrs. L.E. Goyette and Family
  		Obituary- Miller, Laura 2 Laura Miller This community was greatly saddened Monday morning of this week when word was passed about that Mrs. Harry L. Miller has been called into eternity. She passed away at 2:00 o’clock Monday morning after a seven day illness with pneumonia. Two nurses had been by her bedside and the best that medical skill could do was done to aid her in her battle with the disease. Laura Alice Rose was born in Holton, Kansas, April 8, 1862. As a girl of 12 years of age she united in church fellowship with the Methodist Episcopal church. She grew to womanhood in her home town. In September 1884, she was united in the holy bonds of matrimony to Charles M. Eddy. To this union one daughter, Edith, was born. In the year 1888 sorrow was her portion in the loss of her husband by death. For six years she bravely faced her duty in providing for herself and daughter. On the 15th day on February 1894, she was married to H. L. Miller at Holton, Kansas, and a few weeks later they came to Rossville and for over thirty-one years have made this city their home. Mrs. Miller has been actively engaged in the various religious, social and community enterprises. She was a charter member of the Ladies Literary and Music Circle, member of the Order of Eastern Star, Security Benefit Association, trustee and communion steward of the Methodist church. She also shared in the business of her husband, tithing her income as a good steward of the Kingdom. Her home was graced with the advent of another daughter, Clare, who grew to womanhood in this community. At the time her earthly life closed November 9, she was 63 years, 7 months and six days old. She was loved, esteemed and highly regarded by her family, neighbors and a wide circle of friends and business acquaintances. She was loyal to every great interest of her life and had entered the Menninger Bible Study classes in Topeka. She was a faithful worker in the church, doing her best until her health became such as to cause her to seek release from so many activities. The community loses a true Christian character, the church a faithful member and her family a devoted wife and mother. She leaves to mourn her departure, her husband, the two daughters, Edith O’Shaughnessey, of Topeka and Clare Goyette, of Omaha; two brothers, J. W. Rose, Hasty, Colorado and W. B. Rose of ElDorado, Kansas. Funeral services were held Wednesday at the home at 1:00 o’clock, conducted by the Rev. G. C. Albin, of the Methodist church. Music was furnished by Messrs. N. S. Clothier, of St. Marys, A. A. Cless, Mrs. Peter Navarre and Miss Edith Higginbotham. Miss Velma Lambotte was pianist. The pallbearers were: Messrs. W. V. Hook, E. G. Griswold, C. E. VanVleck, C. E. Gresser, Morris Bond and C. E. Cless. The body was taken to Topeka for interment in Topeka cemetery.
