Rutherfordton, March 10—Mrs. Mary Jackson Miller, widow of the late W.G. Miller, died at her home on Broad River Monday and was buried in Rutherfordton cemetery Tuesday, Rev. J.O. Ervin conducting the service in the Methodist Church.
Mrs. Miller was 84 years of age and until a short time ago was able to attend to the business connected with a large farm. She was a good Christian woman, beloved by neighbors and friends, and her death marks the passing of a representative of one of the oldest and most prominent of Rutherford county’s citizenship. In former days this home was noted for its hospitality; parties of young people meeting there and at the old Miller homestead, situated nearby, where for days they were entertained in royal style.
Surviving are a sister-in-law, Miss Matt Miller of Rutherfordton; two sisters, Mrs. Lettie Jackson, Gilkey, formerly of Marion, and one sister living in Texas, whose name we could not learn. Another sister, Mrs. Morgan, who was visiting this home from Fair Forest, S.C., was stricken with pneumonia and died, her body being carried to her home for burial on the day previous to Mrs. Miller’s death.
