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.
