"Mrs. Christina Miller, who has been sick for the past eight months
and who became seriously ill Friday, May 17, from apoplexy, passed away
in her home in Marengo, Monday, May 27 at 1 a.m. at the age of 77 years.
She is the last of a family of seven children to enter the eternal
portals.
Mrs. Miller was born in Holstein, Germany, August 9, 1851. In her
girlhood days she was confirmed in the German Reformed church of
Germany. At the age of 16 she came to America with her parents, Mrs. and
Mrs. Fred Clever, who settled at West Pilot. On Aug. 9, 1871, she was
united in marriage to Fred Miller in Marengo. To this marriage were born
four children. She is survived by her four daughters, Mrs. J.H. Tiernan,
Parnell, Mrs. Ed Pope of Millersburg, Mrs. R.A. Simmons of Marengo, Mrs.
Walter Smith of Marengo, 7 grandchildren and nine great grandchildren.
She was a member of the Order of Eastern Star for many years, but
was unable to be active in recent years because of physical disability.
Mrs. Miller belongs to that great company of mothers to whom credit is
due for building a great nation upon the eternal qualities that spring
forth from a good home. She loved her home and cared for it dearly.
Mrs. Miller spent may hours reading good literature and she found her
source of strength and comfort in reading the Bible. In the hours of
sickness she did not complain and was willing patiently to bear her
trials alone.
Funeral services were held Tuesday at 2:30 p.m. at her home, the
Rev. Walter T. Martin officiating. Mrs. W.T. Martin sang at the
service. Burial was in the I.O.O.F. cemetery.
Six grandchildren served as pall bearers, Clark and Earl Tiernan,
Everett and Alfred Pope, Lloyd Simmons and Harold Smith."
Her name is spelled different ways- Christinea or Christina & Clever can
be Klever.

"Died at his home in Marengo, on Monday morning, Nov. 12, 1906, Fred
Miller, age 57 years, 11 months and 1 day.
Mr. Miller's death was not unlooked for as he had been sick for a
number of months past, and his malady failed to yield to treatment.
Fred Miller was born in Brunswick, Germany, January 11, 1849, son of
Frank Miller, a stonemason by trade. In 1851 the latter came with his
family, consisting of a wife and three children, to America. They lived
in the vicinity of Niagara Falls, New York where the father died in
1854. In August, 1862, the family came to Iowa County and located at
South Amana, residing there three years and then moving to Marengo. Fred
Miller was the youngest of three children born to his parents and at the
age of thirteen years began the work of a stonemason with his step-father
Henry Keye. At the age of 17 he engaged in farming, and at the time of
his death he was the owner of considerable farming land in Iowa County.
On the 9th day of August, 18871, Mr. Miller was united in marriage
to Miss Christena Klever, daughter of Mrs. and Mrs. Fred Klever, of Pilot
township, and to them were born four children: Mrs. John H. Tiernan, of
Fillmore township, Mrs. Ed Pope, of Troy township; Mrs. R.A. Simmons, of
Honey Creek township, and Mrs. Walter Smith of Hartford township, all of
whom, together with the wife, survive to mourn his departure.
Funeral services will be held at the Presbyterian church this
afternoon at 2 o'clock, services being conducted by Rev. Fred B. Tucker
of the M.E. church and the burial, which will be under the auspices of
the Masonic Lodge, will be in the I.O.O.F. cemetery.
The family have the sincere sympathy of all in the hour of
bereavement."
