DEATH'S HARVEST
Obit ? Mr C.B. Miller
The rider of the White Horse has again entered an Almonte home, and borne away the spirit of its head. Mr Chas B. Miller had for some time suffered from ailment which refused to respond to skill and care, and on Friday, June 23rd, he passed away in his 66th year. The late Mr Miller, who was born in Perth, came to Almonte with his father about the year 1869 or 70, and has since had his home here. He served his apprenticeship as machinist in a foundry and machine shop on the site of the Almonte Knitting Co's present factory, and afterwards was employed in various capacities along that line of work.

On November 25th, 1879, he was married to Miss Helen McQuarrie, who, with members of the family born to them, is still living. These are Charles, who had been in the west but returned home before his father's death, Thos, Agnes, Nellie and Jean. One brother of the deceased, Mr Thos Miller, of Toronto, survives. Two sisters, (Mrs W.A. Toshack and Agnes) and one brother, (James), are dead.

The late Mr Miller was for many years a member of Mississippi Lodge A.F. & A.M., and was at his death the oldest past master of the lodge. The funeral, on Sunday afternoon, was held under Masonic auspices, and there was not only a large turn out of members of the local lodge, but others were as visiting brethren. Rev S.G. Brown conducted service at the house, which was followed by the burial service of the lodge, and also took part in the service at the grave. The floral tributes were profuse and beautiful.

Charles married Helen McQuarrie on 25 Nov 1879 in Adamston Twp, Renfrew County, Ontario, Canada. Helen (daughter of James McQuarrie and Catherine Leishman) was born on 22 Aug 1855 in Ramsay Twp, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; died on 5 Dec 1939 in Almonte, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada; was buried in Auld Kirk Cemetery, Mississippi Mills, Lanark County, Ontario, Canada.

About half-past two o'clock, on Friday morning, 3rd inst., about an hour later than fires take place in Ottawa, the fire alarm bells pealed out their dreaded notes, awakening the citizens, who hurriedly rushed for the theatre of the fire, which was seen to be in New England. The fire company had their engine out promptly and were soon at the fire, which was found to be confined to a frame building occupied and owned by a man named Miller and his family. When the fire company arrived the building was wholly engulphed in flames, and as no water could be obtained they could put forth no efforts to save the building. The fire is believed to have been caused by the usual means, namely, by hot ashes left in the kitchen. When discovered by the inmates they had just sufficient time to escape with their lives. All household effects were destroyed, and as there was no insurance on the building the loss will be a heavy one to the owner.

Almonte -
Between 2 and 3:00 on Friday morning last the Almonte fire bell rang out loud and clear, thus giving warning that a fire was in progress. The scene of the fire was situated in "New England". The fire company turned out with their engine but before they could reach the scene the house which was on fire was well night consumed. The house belonged to Mr. Charles Miller, an employee of the factories. From what we can learn the fire was caused by hot ashes which had been placed in an outhouse attached to the building. The house with its contents was entirely consumed and the inmates were not aware of the disaster that had befallen them until some of the burning timbers began falling about their ears. There was no insurance.

Obituary - Mrs Chas Miller
Last week Mr. C.B. Miller got word from his brother in Toronto of the serious illness which had again overtaken his mother, and on Friday morning a telegram came announcing her death, which occurred in the early hours of the morning, when her spirit departed as she lay quietly sleeping. The remains were brought to Almonte, and interred in the family plot in the eighth line cemetery on Saturday afternoon, Rev A.M. Currie conducting the services.

The late Mrs. Miller, who ws 82 years of age, and whose maiden name was Euphemia Nichol, was born in Selkirk, Scotland, and came to Canada with her parents in 1829, she being then seven years of age. Like many others who came out at that time the family went to Perth, and afterwards settled on a farm about one and a half miles from the present town on the Ferry road. Mr. Nichol (her father) was a shepherd in Scotland, and when it is said that he had never had an axe in his hand until he came to Canada some idea may be had of the hardships that must have been endured by him and his family in literally hewing out a home for themselves in the Canadian forest.

On June 19th, 1846, the deceased was married to Mr. Chas. Miller, of Perth, and about thirty-five years ago they removed to Almonte, Mr. Miller entering into partnership with Messrs. John Flett and John Scott in carrying on af a machine shop and foundry business in the buildings now occupied by the Almonte Knitting Co., the firm being known as Flett, Miller & Scott, and which was succeeded by Rosamond, Miller & Scott.

To Mr and Mrs Miller a family of three boys and two girls were born. Two sisters of the deceased, Mrs. Wm. H. McLean, of Perth, and Miss Nichol, of Vancouver, survive.
