Obituary
Marshall N.

Brother Miller was respected by all. In 1882, he was married to Miss Mary Ginger, the oldest daughter of Arch and Pollie Ginger. To this union were born three boys who still live. On May the 14th., he was seized with pneumonia of which he died 21 May 1905 being 48 years and 19 days old. He was a member of Karber's Ridge Lodge of IOOF in good standing and was buried by that order, the body first being taken to the Grossville Presbyterian church where the funeral was conducted by Elder E.S. Tinsley in the presence of the largest concourse of people the writer has ever senn in a long time. In the death of Brother Miller, the country has lost one of its best citizens, truthful, honest and ever-ready to help those in need. What more can I say? The wife has lost her dear compaion and best friend, the children a kind affectionate father

Mrs. Mollie Spivey, daughter of Archibld Ginger and Polly Ann Ginger, nee Patton, was born in Hardin County, Illinois, October 22, 1866 and died at her home a few miles north of Elizabethtown, Illinois November 3, 1928, at the age of 62 years and 12 days. She was first married to Marshall M. Miller (familary called "Bony") March 28, 1885, who died in May 1905. To this union was born three sons, namely Joseph of Kankakee, Illinois, John of Elizabethtown, Illinois and Ernest of Detroit, Michigan. After remaining a widow some 18 months, she was remarried this time to Rev. Jonas Spivey, November 4, 1906, with whom she lived an agreeable and pleasant married life as long as he lived, as she did also with her first husband. Brother Spivey, preceded her to the spirit land also, having passed away Setpember 4th., 1928, since which time she has lived with her son John and wife, or rather they have lived with her, and they made life as agreeable and pleasant as possible for her. A short time prior to her late husband's death she had a light stroke of paralysis which was followed by others later, the last one, two or three days prior to death. She professed faith in Christ in 1898, and joined the General Baptist church at Keeling near her home and lived a consistent Christian life until called away by death November 3, 1928, and now has gone to join her late husband who had preceded her to the spirit land just two months and also all other relattives and friends who had preceded her as well. Sister Spivey had borne her share of the sorrow and troubles incident to this life with that patient and Christian spirit which appears to relieve a true Christian of much of their last suffering and dread of the hereafter. The deceased was recognized by all who knew her as an hnest good neighbor and friend and had lived a consistent Christian life for some thirty years, and by her pleasant and agreeable manner and kindly disposition had made warm personal friends of all her neighbors and of nearly all other she met as well. And to say that she was a noble and generous hearted wife and mother, and worthy of the love and kindly treatment accorded her by both her husbands and her three children does not put it too strong. Haveing been requested by the late Brother Spivey to preach his funeral , if I out lived him, I asked Brother Jerry Rose in the last sad rites, and being the deceased's old pastor, it was rather expected that I preach her funeral, and so I did. It is with deep sorrow and regret that I am forced to acknowledge that with in the last two months, two of the strongest and most helpful pillars of Keeling Church have gone to their ever lasting reward, and by this degree of Providence the number of that church is lessened and it's strength greatly weakened; but, let us submit to the will of God at all tiimes with that Christian patience that is highly commendable. May the good Lord bless the dead and care for and comfort the living is the writer's prayer.
