Francis M., son of Job and Elizabeth MILLER, was born in Greene County, near Owensburg, February 11, 1863, and died at his home on April 14, 1923, aged sixty years, two months and three days.

On November 27, 1888, he was united in marriage to Lottie GEE. To this union two sons were born?Roy and Rex. Little Rex and the mother passed to the Great Beyond.

About the year of 1892, he, with his remaining son, and his father and family, moved to Fairplay Township. Here he met Hattie M. KLINGER, and on September 4, 1895, they were united in marriage in Greene Co., Indiana. To this union one daughter?Golda?was born.

"Dick," as he was called by all his friends and neighbors, was a kind, good neighbor, ever ready to help those in need and ever ready to do a neighborly act of kindness.

For many years he cared for his aged parents, sometimes in his own home and at other times driving for miles to minister to their needs.

He was an industrious farmer, and gave up work only when compelled to on account of physical weakness.

In his last days of suffering, which covered more than a year, he was cared for by his faithful and loving wife and daughter. Day after day and week after week have they watched beside that bed of pain and done all that kind hands and loving hearts could do to relieve his suffering.

He leaves to mourn his departure, his wife, one daughter, Golda, at home, and one son Ray, of Linton, and five loving little grandchildren. Three sisters also survive?Mrs. May EDINGTON, of Jasonville; Mrs. Alice HUDSON, of Bedford, and Mrs. Caroline WHARTON, of Spokane, Washington, and two half-sisters?Mrs. Lon SIMPSON, and Mrs. Mary TRENFROCK, of Kansas City, MO., and a host of other relatives and friends.

The funeral services were held at Castle Hill, Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock, conducted by Rev. W. J. ELLIS. Interment in Castle Hill Cemetery.

Francis married Margaret Charlotte Gee in 1888. Margaret (daughter of George Washington Gee and Amanda Cooper) was born on 4 Sep 1871 in Greene County, Indiana, United States; died on 24 Dec 1892 in Greene County, Indiana, United States; was buried in Owensburg, Cemetery, Owensburg, Greene County, Indiana, United States.

THE BLOOMFIELD NEWS, VOL. XXXIX., NO. 11, Page 1, Column 3, Bloomfield, Greene County, Indiana, Thursday, January 27, 1916, "Job MILLER Dead; Was Ninety-One."

Job MILLER, one of the oldest men in Greene county, who recently passed away at the home of W. W. SIMPSON, Owensburg, at the age of ninety years, eleven months and four days, was born in Campbell county, Tenn. At the age of seven years he moved with his parents to Jackson township, this county, where he had been a resident almost ever since.

He was united in marriage in 1846. To this union were born six children, four having passed to the great beyond. Two children by the first marriage are still living, namely: Mrs. W. W. SIMPSON, of Owensburg, and Mary FRINFROCK, of Vincennes. .

He was married the second time to Elizabeth LAMB, on April 15, 1858, and to this union nine children were born, five of whom have passed away. The four surviving ones are Francis Marion MILLER, of near Switz City; Mrs. Alice HUDSON, of Bedford; Mrs. Caroline WHORTON, of Spokane, Washington, and Mrs. Ella May EDINGTON, of Jasonville.

Uncle Job was a hard working man. It is said of him that he probably had cleared more land and split more rails than any other man in Jackson township. In an early day when the settlers so much needed the help of each other he was the first at a log rolling, wood chopping, house raising and in all calls for charity it was always a pleasing task for him to assist the needy. He helped haul the logs to build the first house in Owensburg. He also helped by hauling and working as a laborer to build the first church house in the vicinity of Owensburg; it was know as Old White Oak church, of which congregation he became a member. The same church house was later removed to Owensburg and is now in use. He lived in Greene county when he paid his taxes at the county seat with raccoon skins, which were a legal tender. He witnessed the development of this county for almost a century and like to talk about the transformation from a wilderness to a modern commonwealth.

The funeral services were held in the M. E. church at Owensburg in which congregation he was a member at the time of his death. The services were conducted by Elder J. L. HATFIELD, pastor of the Church of Christ, and Pastor FLYNN, of the M. E. Church, after which the remains were taken to the old DISHMAN cemetery, where they were laid to rest. He has left us but we are glad to still hold him in our memory.

Job married Elizabeth Jane Lamb on 15 Apr 1858 in Greene County, Indiana, United States. Elizabeth was born on 16 Feb 1837 in Jackson, Greene County, Indiana, United States; died on 26 Apr 1919 in Jacksonville, Jackson County, Oregon, United States. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
