General Notes: Husband - Rev. Noble Garvin Miller, D.D.

---

He received his early educational training in the school at Eldersridge, later entering Allegheny College, from which he was graduated. in 1861. He was ordained a clergyman and recommended and received into the Pittsburgh Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and began preaching in the Mechanicsburg circuit, for forty-one years acting as a faithful expounder of Methodist doctrines, filling with dignified capacity charges in Indiana, Allegheny, Armstrong and Westmoreland counties. In 1903 he voluntarily ceased his labors. He was presiding elder of the McKeesport district of Pittsburg Conference for six years, and for many years was a trustee of Allegheny College, his Alma Mater. A man of strong personality and strength of character, he advanced his church both materially and spiritually, and held the affectionate regard and deepest reverence of every congregation over which he was placed. He was a member of the general conference in 1888, and held other distinguished positions. After his retirement he made his home at Blairsville.
"It would be impossible to convey any adequate idea of the work of Mr. Miller. Elo-quent to a marked degree, he bent all the strength of his powerful mind to winning men to his church, and was considered one of the best preachers of his day. He was a good organizer as well, and his churches prospered under his fostering care. In the evening of his life, it must be a source of great pleasure to him to reflect upon the good he has accomplished, and to realize how many owe the salvation of their souls to him."
