  Miller.-Mary Bender, daughter of Daniel and Fanny Bender, was born in Elkhart Co., Ind., July 14, 1867; died in the Goshen hospital while undergoing an operation for gallstones, on Oct. 13, 1927; aged 60 y. 2 m. 29 d. In her youth she accepted Christ as her personal Savior and united with the Amish Church and continued faithfully with her husband in the service of the Master until He called her to himself to suffer no more. On Nov. 25, 1888, she was united in marriage to Bro. Emanuel Miller. To this union were born ten children. Two preceded her to the great beyond. She leaves to mourn her departure a sorrowing husband, 5 sons (Elmer, Daniel, Melvin, Ezra, and Clarence), 3 daughters (Naomi, Ida, and Lydia), all living in the home community, 21 grandchildren, 5 brothers, 1 sister, and a host of relatives and friends. In her death the community has lost a helpful neighbor, the Church a faithful member, and the family a kind loving wife and mother. Funeral services at the home of her brother (Noah R. Bender), by Samuel Hostetler and Nathaniel Miller in German and D.J. Johns in English. "Oh, dear mother, how we miss you, Since your place is vacant here; But you'll never be forgotten, By the ones who hold you dear."
