William H. Miller passes

The funeral of Mr. William H. Miller took place from the residence 
of Miss Miller, Colborne Street south, to Oakwood Cemetery on 
Tuesday afternoon.

The late Mr. Miller's body was brought here from Manchester, 
New Hampshire, where is died, aged 82, after a residence there of 
some 20 years. He will be remembered by all older residents of this district, for not born in Norfolk, he lived here for half a century.

Mr. Miller was a native of Burlington, Ontario, and was a son of the late Captain Willet Green Miller, the well-known pioneer ship builder and mariner, who did not close a useful and kindly existence until almost within sight of his hundredth birthday.

The younger man ran a lumber business in Walsingham for a time, 
and afterwards engaged in farming. A couple of decades ago he 
moved to New Hampshire.

He was married three times. By his first wife, who was Miss 
Margaret Elizabeth McCall, daughter [sic, actually sister] of 
the late D. A. McCall of St. Williams, he had two sons, one of 
whom grew up and is Mr. Willet A. Miller, a well-known and prominent member of the Canadian-American colony of 
Chicago, Ill. He was here to attend the funeral.

His second wife was a Miss Bray of Oakville. Of that marriage 
there was no issue, the lady's death occurring after only a short 
experience of wedded life.

Mr. Miller's third matrimonial partnership was formed with 
Miss Frances Austin of Woodhouse, and she and her five children 
survive him.

Other surviving  relatives are three sisters: Mrs. Jull of Detroit, 
Mrs. D. L. Jackson and Miss Miller of Simcoe, and a brother, 
Mr. Isaac Miller of Toronto. Dr. Willet G. Miller of Toronto, the 
Provincial Geologist, is a nephew.
