69	"At 94, for reasons known only to herself, Carrie Miller, of Wynne, Arkansas, decided it was time to die. "She planned her passing in the meticulous, unflinching fashion for which she was known, even taking the time to leave a short note for her longtime housekeeper, Mabel. Her explanation was brief and to the point: You'll find me in my car, in the same place my husband was killed. Raymond Miller died in 1938. Carrie Miller never remarried. "When she finished writing the note, sometime during the afternoon of March 15, Miller left it on her kitchen table. She knew Mabel would find it there. "Then the elderly woman climbed into her 1999 Buick Century and headed down U.S. 64 toward the St. Francis Bay Bridge. She stopped briefly to ask a Highway and Transportation Department employee how to get to a specific boat ramp. She then drove her Buick directly and deliberately off that ramp and into a tributary of the St. Francis River. "As the current swept her car several hundred yards down the river's offshoot, Miller shut off the engine. She put her car in park. And then, with the windows rolled firmly shut and her seat belt still fastened, Miller calmly waited to die. "As planned, she was in nearly the same spot her husband died more than 60 years ago, when his car slid off an old, icy, wooden bridge" . (Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, March 25, 2000).

Eighty years ago in the summer, Mr. Peter McNee, with his parents and their family, arrived in the Township of Drummond from Lochearnside, Perthshire, Scotland, and settled, with the Balderson pioneers, in the fertile lands on the 7th and 8th lines of the township. This was in the year 1820. The family underwent all the hardships of pioneer life, but gradually the farms of that vicinity blossomed as the rose, and all through there now comfortable and luxurious homes and cleared, well-cultivated fields have succeeded the log cabins and stretches of unbroken maple, beech and elm forests of the primeval days. After a long life of eighty-seven years, the subject of our sketch, Mr. Peter McNee, crossed the bar on Sunday last, his death resulting from no disease, but simply from the wearing out of his system.

The townspeople were shocked on Tuesday forenoon upon learning that one of our respected citizens, Mr. Archibald Elliott, had died suddenly that morning. Mr. Elliott, though up in years, still followed occasionally his old occupation of cattle drover, and on Monday had, with his assistants, collected a lot of cattle at the farm of his son Robert, Ninth Line. His exertions made him somewhat sick and faint, through weakness of the heart, which had troubled him for some time; but he rose from his bed next morning quite well again. That morning he exerted himself somewhat in overlooking the herding the cattle when suddenly he complained of a dreadful pain in his side, and all at once fell to the ground a dead man. The cause of his death was heart failure. This was about ten o'clock in the morning. His brother Robert was driven out as soon as possible, and during the afternoon his body was brought to his late residence on Victoria street. Deceased was seventy-one years of age. He was born on the 9th line of Burgess, on the farm on which he died, and which was drawn by his father from the Government in the early settlement. The family came from the North of Ireland. Mr. Elliott was a prominent Conservative. He was married to Miss McLean, whose death last winter proved a great affliction to him. A few years ago the family came to town to live, and by that time Mr. Elliott had withdrawn pretty much from his active business life.

"At 94, for reasons known only to herself, Carrie Miller, of Wynne, Arkansas, decided it was time to die.

"She planned her passing in the meticulous, unflinching fashion for which she was known, even taking the time to leave a short note for her longtime housekeeper, Mabel. Her explanation was brief and to the point: You'll find me in my car, in the same place my husband was killed. Raymond Miller died in 1938. Carrie Miller never remarried.

"When she finished writing the note, sometime during the afternoon of March 15, Miller left it on her kitchen table. She knew Mabel would find it there.

"Then the elderly woman climbed into her 1999 Buick Century and headed down U.S. 64 toward the St. Francis Bay Bridge. She stopped briefly to ask a Highway and Transportation Department employee how to get to a specific boat ramp. She then
drove her Buick directly and deliberately off that ramp and into a tributary of the St. Francis River.

"As the current swept her car several hundred yards down the river's offshoot, Miller shut off the engine. She put her car in park. And then, with the windows rolled firmly shut and her seat belt still fastened, Miller calmly waited to die.

"As planned, she was in nearly the same spot her husband died more than 60 years ago, when his car slid off an old, icy, wooden bridge" .

"Death of a Pioneer. Eighty years ago in the summer, Mr. Peter McNee, with his parents and their family, arrived in the Township of Drummond from Lochearnside, Perthshire, Scotland, and settled, with the Balderson pioneers, in the fertile lands on the 7th and 8th lines of the township. This was in the year 1820. The family underwent all the hardships of pioneer life, but gradually the farms of that vicinity blossomed as the rose, and all through there now comfortable and luxurious homes and cleared, well-cultivated fields have succeeded the log cabins and stretches of unbroken maple, beech and elm forests of the primeval days. After a long life of eighty-seven years, the subject of our sketch, Mr. Peter McNee, crossed the bar on Sunday last, his death resulting from no disease, but simply from the wearing out of his system. He died at the residence of his son-in-law, Mr. Peter Cavers, near Harper, Bathurst, and his funeral took place on Tuesday to the old Presbyterian burying-ground, in Perth. Rev. Mr. McIlraith, of the Balderson church, officiating. Deceased was married to Miss Margaret Clark, also a native of Perthshire, Scotland, who preceded him to the grave some years. He settled, when a young man, on a farm on the 7th line of Bathurst, now occupied by his son Peter, and which he owned and worked until the infirmities of advancing age caused him to cease from his labors. His children were: Margaret (Mrs. John McGregor), James (deceased), Elizabeth (deceased), Peter on the 7th line farm, and Jessie (Mrs. Peter Cavers). Deceased was like the rest of his kith and kin, a staunch Liberal."

Elliott. In North Burgess, on the 13th Sept., Archibald Elliott, aged 71 years."
[Col. 2, Pg. 5; The Perth Courier; Friday, 16 Sep 1898; Vol. LXV, No. 3"

Mr. Archibald Elliott.
The townspeople were shocked on Tuesday forenoon upon learning that one of our respected citizens, Mr. Archibald Elliott, had died suddenly that morning. Mr. Elliott, though up in years, still followed occasionally his old occupation of cattle drover, and on Monday had, with his assistants, collected a lot of cattle at the farm of his son Robert, Ninth Line. His exertions made him somewhat sick and faint, through weakness of the heart, which had troubled him for some time; but he rose from his bed next morning quite well again. That morning he exerted himself somewhat in overlooking the herding the cattle when suddenly he complained of a dreadful pain in his side, and all at once fell to the ground a dead man. The cause of his death was heart failure. This was about ten o'clock in the morning. His brother Robert was driven out as soon as possible, and during the afternoon his body was brought to his late residence on Victoria street. Deceased was seventy-one years of age. He was born on the 9th line of Burgess, on the farm on which he died, and which was drawn by his father from the Government in the early settlement. The family came from the North of Ireland. Mr. Elliott was a prominent Conservative. He was married to Miss McLean, whose death last winter proved a great affliction to him. A few years ago the family came to town to live, and by that time Mr. Elliott had withdrawn pretty much from his active business life. He leaves two sons and two daughters: Robert, on the homestead farm; Chas. W., in Montreal; Mrs. Orr (Jennie), in Manitoba; and Edith, at home. The funeral took place yesterday. Rev. Mr. Hughes, pastor of Asbury church, conducting the services."
