Obituary- Miller, Henry H. 1

Dr. Miller At Rest – Death claimed Dr. H. H. Miller last Monday morning at 5:20 a.m. and in his death there passes another link which unites Rossville with the past.

For forty-four years with the exception of the past year and one year spent in Horton, Kansas, Dr. Miller had practiced medicine in this city.
When not yet 22 years of age, Dr. Miller came to Kansas in April 1872 and in June located in Rossville and made his first professional call on June 25. From that time his services were in constant demand; in all sorts of weather and all hours of the day or night, he traveled over the hills for miles in every direction. In his early days here Dr. Miller made thousands of calls on horseback going across country as roads were few and often impassable. Dr. Miller never thought of his own comfort if some other had need of his services. These early days of hard work and exposure may have made easier the inroads of the disease which finally ended his life. He lacked three days of being 66 years old at the time of his death.

Dr. Miller’s health has not been good for several years and for about a year he had not been actively identified with his practice. A month ago he apparently was much better than any time during the winter but the improvement was only temporary and three weeks ago he began failing rapidly. Death was due to cancer of the pancreas.
