Subject: Obituary of Samuel T. Miller

Ken, the following obituary is an addition to the Miller search (Admiral Roger Deem). I think it's interesting that the reverend who conducted this sermon (Elmer Lowe) was also one of the sons-in-law of the Long family I just sent to Deloyce Jessen-Snaza. The natives are restless. :)
