    • The death of Mr. Jacob B. Miller, postmaster of the Village of Wellesley, for the past 22 years, occurred at his home there on Sunday night, February 7th. The deceased was in his 80th year and had been in failing health for the past year.

      The late Mr. Miller was born in Wellesley and spent his whole life in this district. For some time he resided in New Hamburg and in Baden where he carried on a meat business. He was a member of the Missouri Lutheran Church.

      The deceased was married to Catharine Bickert, of Wellesley, who survives him besides a family of six daughters and three sons, namely: (Anna), Mrs. William Stuernagel, Preston, (Hilda) Mrs. D. Mulcahy, Tilbury, (Alice) Mrs. G. A. Koehler, Kitchener, Ruth in St. Thomas, Elsie and Margaret at home, Charles, of Gilwette, Wyo., Oscar of Prelate, Sask., Clarence of Tilbury, 18 grandchildren and one great grandchild. Three sisters, Mrs. Mary Fleischauer, Kitchener, Mrs. John G. Hahn, St. Jacobs, Mrs. Katharine Kaufman, Wellesley, and two brothers, Philip, of Kitchener, and William at Melville, Sask., also survive. One brother, Henry, of Rocky Mountain House, Alta., predeceased him six months ago.

      The funeral was held on Wednesday afternoon with a private service at the home at 2 o'clock, followed by public service in the Missouri Lutheran Church conducted by Rev. C. A. Kraemer, pastor of the church. A large circle of friends were in attendance. Interment was made in Fairview Cemetery at Baden.
