"ANOTHER PIONEER GONE.
Ex-Commissioner David Miller Passed to His Reward.
Well Known and Highly Respected Farmer of Tiffin Township and a Staunch Supporter of Democracy.
Another old resident and prominent citizen of Defiance county was called to his long home Sunday morning, April 23, at 8:30 in the person of David Miller of Tiffin township.
Mr. Miller has been sick for several months and his death was anticipated by those familiar with his condition. Mr. Miller was well known throughout the county and universally respected.
A few years since, he held the responsible office of County Commissioner, having been elected by the Democratic party to which party he was ever loyal, and he filled the position to the credit of himself and satisfaction of all concerned.
He leaves a wife and several children as well as a wide circle of acquaintances and friends to mourn his loss.
The funeral was held Tuesday at 9:30 a.m., from his late residence, and 10 o'clock at Salem Evangelical church. Interment in Webb cemetery.

'David Miller, one of the most extensive farmers of Tiffin township, was born April 18, 1825, in Holmes county, Ohio, his ancestors being from Germany, who first located near Baltimore, Md., then removed to Pennsylvania, thence to Ohio in 1802. His grandfather's name was Jacobs, his grandmother's name was Hartman.
David Miller was married Feb. 13, 1857, to Mary A. Partee. Their children were Lewis, Frank L., Orlando, John, Allen, Sophia, Malinda and Charlotte.
