  	Miller There passed away on Saturday, July 17th, one of Manion's highly respected residents in the person of Mr. Robert G. Miller. Deceased had been troubled lately with his throat, but it was not thought that the consequences would be his passing from this world. He had almost reached the alotted span, being sixty-eight years of age. He was a son of the late George Miller, of 3rd line, Bathurst, and formerly lived on the farm now occupied by his nephew, Sterling Miller, but some years ago purchased the Dodd's farm, at Manion and had lived there up to the time of his demise. He is survived by his wife, Eliza Dodds and a family of six, two sons, Herbert and Mervyn, two daughters, Mabel and Jean, all at home, and two daughters, Mrs. Alex Armour and Mrs. John Armour, both of Bathurst, three brothers, George of Bathurst, William of Smiths Falls, and David of town, and three sisters, Miss Kate Miller, of town, Mrs. Wm. Blair, of Fallbrook, and Mrs Andrew Miller, of the 3rd line, Bathurst, also survive him. Deceased was a staunch Liberal in politics and a member of Know church and its board of management. The funeral took place on Sunday afternoon from his late residence at 3 o'clock, and was largely attended, service being conducted by Rev. W. M. Grant of Knox church, interment taking place in Elmwood cemetery. The pallbearers were his three brothers and John Blair, Richard Rudsdale and Norman Miller of town, nephew of the deceased.
