At the hour of 3:20 a. m. yes
terday, the spirit of the Rev. Dr.
Wilbur C. Miller, the beloved
and pastor of the Congregational i
church in Jennings, was loosed f
from the moorings of the mortal t
and wafted into the presence of i
the ruler of the universe, there a
to receive the rewards of a well A
spent life. Dr. Miller had been b
here but a short time, and his '
Two sickness dated from the time of
bush the occurrence of Jennings' de- a:
the structive conflagration, upon at
itlul which occasion he took an active et
nost part in the subjugation of the D
lnea llamnes and toward saving all that C
it of might be saved from the devour- in
lock ing element. Undoubtedly this H

of cut short his earthly career of a
100. usefulnae:s. About two weeks til
ibly a.,go he was taken with what he tb
Slupposed was la grippe, but all fir
was nledical aid failed to give any t
re- permanuent relief, and he grew te
flar st.,dily worse, until it became Fe
till- plainl evident that his life was in
)i- surel' oelbbin. away. He tilled su
ast- his puli)it for the last time on
. .i Sundi Imorning, the 17th inst. ter
as After whlich an examination by pa
of by the phiysician disclosed the thit
ac: truth that lhe was inevitably suf- he

Sing the Armour Institute. In daug
'u1884 he1 was called to the pastor M.
r of a church at Shabona, De Kalb moni
1- Co., Ill. He always considered neral
that his greatest work was done Mesa
at this place. Heo remained as cond
k pastor for five years. In that the ii
time the church had grown view
. wonderfully and Mr1. Miller had
so woven his life into tl.,e lives of
the people that when the'urgent
call camne from DI,:catur Illinois,
it was very hard for him to see
that his duty was to leave
yes- Shabauna for the nlew w.)'rk,but in
Dr1889 he came to be the pastor of
the First Congregational church
Loved of Decatur, Ill. The chuich was
