County Republican & Press (Neillsville, Wis.) 12/16/1915 Miller, Lulu (12
MAY 1866 - 9 Dec 1915) News was received
by friends here Thursday, Dec. 9, 1915, that Mrs. W.P. Miller had
died that day at her home in Appleton. Mrs. Miller’s death
will be sincerely mourned by many of the older residents here,
where she was well known and loved by all who knew her. Mrs. Miller, whose
maiden name was Lulu Brown, was born in Black river Falls May 12,
1866, and came to Neillsville, Clark County with her parents, Mr.
and Mrs. David A. Brown, when a small girl and grew to womanhood
here. She was married to W.P. Miller Dec. 22, 1884. They lived at
Unity for a time and later at Thorp for several years, and then
moved to Neillsville. More than twenty years ago they moved to
Appleton, which was their home until her death. Mrs. Miller was a
woman of most lovable character, bright, cheerful and helpful in
all good things, she seemed the life of anything in which she took
part. It was the writer’s good fortune to know her when she
lived at Thorp, and there yet remains many in that village who will
remember with pleasure the old days of their friendship there and
who will be saddened by her death. She was a member of the
Congregational Church and active in its work, but wherever she
lived, she sought to help in those things that made for a better
social life. She leaves her
husband, one daughter, Mrs. Fred Ruseling of Eleva, her mother,
Mrs. Anna Brown, two sisters, Mrs. C.H. Elkington of Eleva and Miss
Grace Brown of Albany, Ore., besides a host of friends. The funeral was
held Saturday at Appleton, all of the relatives named being
present, except the sister in Oregon. Mr. and Mrs. W.J. Marsh of
Neillsville were also present.
