"Herald-Patriot" Newspaper - Chariton, IA - 13 Oct 1927 - Page 1
Relatives and friends in this vicinity were greatly shocked and saddened by
the news of the sudden death of Mrs. Ella Miller of this city, which
occurred at the hospital in Des Moines on Wednesday afternoon, October 12,
1927, at 1:30 o'clock.
Last Sunday Mrs. Miller went to Des Moines to visit her sister-in-law, Mrs.
Ira Brown, formerly of this place. On Tuesday morning as she was coming down
the stairs, and when near the bottom step, she fell and in some manner
fractured her hip. She was removed to the hospital and was thought to be
getting along nicely but on Wednesday she suffered a hemorrhage of the brain
and death ensued in a short time.
The remains were brought to Chariton on Wednesday night and taken to the
home of her sister, Mrs. E.D. Veirs, and on Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock
funeral services will be held at St. Andrews Episcopal church followed by
interment in Chariton Cemetery. The deceased was formerly Miss Ella Brown,
daughter of the late William Brown.
She is survived by one son Harold Miller, of near Chariton, and by one
grandson, also by one sister Mrs. E.D. Veirs of this place. To these grief
stricken ones the sympathy of the community will be extended.
* OBITUARY: Ella Mae Brown
'Leader" or "Herald-Patriot" Newspaper - Chariton, IA - Oct 1927
In our community life there are constant transitions and these changes in
our social relations remind us of our human attributes and frailty,
generations are born into the world, remain but a little while according to
the predestined plan of mortality and then pass on to be succeeded by other
generations in whatever performances providence wills. Such is the routine
of our existence. And this leads us to the belief in a higher future state,
else our bereavements are in vain.
And so the heavy hand is ever present and again it has laid, this time upon
one who had passed beyond the youthful years, but accustomed as we become to
the visitations it is never without its pangs, but we humbly bow in
submission to a Higher Will. The circumstances surrounding this recent death
is as follows. Mrs. Ella B. Miller had gone to Des Moines to visit in the
home of her sister-in-law, Mrs. Ira Brown. This was on last Sunday. On
Monday evening as she was coming down the stairway, and when near the bottom
step, she fell and in some manner fractured her hip. She was removed to the
hospital and was thought to be getting along well until Wednesday she
suffered a hemorrhage of the brain, and death resulted in a short time. Her
remains were brought to the home of her sister, Mrs. E.D. Veirs, in Chariton
and the funeral was held at St. Andrews Episcopal church in Chariton, on
Saturday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock, after which her body was consigned to
the tomb in Chariton Cemetery. The services were conducted by her pastor,
the Rev. George Brown, and were impressive, he speaking eloquently in
commemoration of her qualities and the pathos in the manner of her departure
from the activities -- and associations of family and friends. The altar
service and vocal selections were reflections of that faith in a triumphant
eternity.
Mrs. Miller was the daughter of a sturdy and resolute ancestry who were
strong in the principles of self reliance, which traits have been the
strength of the commonwealth and the communities, and of these she inherited
in measure, her immediate ancestors being the late William C. and Esther A.
Brown, pioneer citizens of Whitebreast township, where they wrought together
and founded a competency, reared the family and more noteworthy than all
else, entailing the offspring with that trait of character which is founded
upon personal integrity -- and is enduring. A brief sketch of her life is
here appended:
Ella Brown Miller, daughter of William C. and Esther A. Brown, was born in
Whitebreast township, Lucas county, Iowa, on February 14, 1877. She died at
the Iowa Methodist hospital in Des Moines, Iowa on Wednesday, Oct. 12, 1927.
Her age was 50 years, 7 months and 28 days.
She was the sixth child in a family of eight, all of them being deceased,
together with the parents except Mrs. Effie L. Veirs, of Chariton. The names
of these in order of their birth are: Ira W. Brown, Mary M. Tharp, David
Brown, Myrta Brown, Ella B. Miller, Effie L. Veirs, and two sisters, who
died in infancy.
She was married early in life and is survived by her son, H. Harold Miller,
of Whitebreast township, and grandson, Master Jack E. Miller. And truly it
may be said she was a devoted mother as well as a true friend, and there is
sorrow in the carrying out of this edict which has brought the separation,
but consolation in the knowledge that all is well, because in her methodical
way she had not neglected the future and builded upon that faith which
endureth. Thus she leaves a living encomium, and has earned the tribute
extended, and as an important part of her life record the final duty has
been cited. Early in life she became a member of St. Andrews Episcopal
church and her greatest delight was in serving the church in any way she
could. She was a member of St. Andrews Guild and she will be greatly missed
by her many friends and associates. She also served for many years as Choir
Mother and many who have worked in the choir of St. Andrews will be grieved
at the passing of one who was so interested in their welfare.
And so the finale has been reached, and another life chapter ended.
