Obituary
Henry H. Miller

Henry H. Miller was born on May 4th, 1850 in Ashtabula Co., Ohio. Later the family moved to Alliance, Ohio, where he attended school. After finishing the common school course he attended Mount Union college, where he took collegiate studies. Following his college work he taught school for a few terms. He then went to the University of Pennsylvania for medical education, graduating there in 1872. In June of that year he came to Kansas and made his first professional visit on the 25th of June. With the exception of one year his entire professional career was spent in Rossville. He married Ella Wyatt in 1876. In 1894 his wife died leaving him and three children to mourn her loss. In September 1897 he married Gertrude E. Partello, who survives him.

He was deeply interested in and took an active part in everything that was for the betterment of Rossville and the community. He served as mayor and councilman at various times. He took an active part as member and officer in lodge affairs, having been a member of most of the fraternal lodges organized here. At the time of his death he was a member of the A.O.U.W. the local Masonic lodge, was honorary life member of Silver Lake lodge of Masons, The Chapter, Commandery, and Consistory of Topeka. He was Master of the Masonic lodge 13 years. He always took an active interest in our schools having been clerk of the district for 19 years, in which capacity he was serving at the time of his death. He was very proud of the Rossville High school for which he devoted much time and work. He was interested in church work having been a member of the Presbyterian church for a great many years and was an elder in the church at the time of his death. In fact there was no field of human endeavor which was for good that he was not interested in. He is survived by his wife, Gertrude E. Miller; three children, Mrs. Jesse Majors of Topeka, Earl D. Miller of Menoken, Henry B. Miller of Rossville; two brothers, W.W. Miller of Topeka, M.S. Miller of Coffeyville; one sister, Mrs. Anna Millard of Alliance, Ohio. Besides his immediate family he leaves a host of friends who will miss him almost as a father and who through his long illness extended to him so many kindnesses that were a constant source of joy and happiness to him in his hours of affliction.
