Mike Miller died last Wednesday at his home at Bennington after long suffering with dropsy. He settled on land about three miles south of Kennard just east of Henry Wrich’s place in 1867, where he farmed many years, moving to Bennington some years ago and leaving his son to run the farm. The funeral is to be held today at the German hall near his old home.
