David Newton Miller's ancestors were of the hardy pioneer
stock that played their part in the "winning of the West."
His grandfather, John Miller, was a native of Lebanon county,
Pennsylvania, who married Elinore Imboden, of his own
community, and came to Greene county, Indiana, where they
got partially improved land in Richland township. The old
log houses on the place when they went there soon gave way
to better buildings. He farmed and run a blacksmith shop
there. He was active in church work and helped build, in
1856, the building of the Church of God in that vicinity,
in which he was an elder and trustee. He married a second
time, his last wife being Mrs. Elizabeth Hubble, who died
April 15, 1902. His first wife died in 1865. He died in
1901. He had the following children by his first wife:
Henry, John, David, Mariah, Catherine, Caroline, Leah and
Mary.

and then came with his parents to Greene county, Indiana.
He married Sarah R. Miller, of the former county. She
was the daughter of Rev. Samuel and Hannah (Phillips)
Miller, both natives of Pennsylvania, who came to Greene
county about 1851 and located in Highland township, where
he preached in the Church of God and farmed, also taught
school. He was very useful and was highly esteemed
throughout the county. He died in 1872, followed to the

Died:
THE BLOOMFIELD NEWS, VOL. XLI., NO.11, Page 5, Column 4, Bloomfield, Greene County, Indiana, Thursday, February 1, 1917, "Death Claims Pioneer Citizens.?MILLER."

No man nor citizen will be more greatly missed in the Union Bethel neighborhood than David Newton MILLER who died suddenly of apoplexy after he had partaken of a hearty dinner on Monday January 25. He was relied upon as safe counsel by the neighbors as well as his immediate family and his relatives. He was the sole custodian of the church and cemetery at Union Bethel and if he did not keep a map of burial ground, it is doubtful whether anyone else is familiar with the location of the various lots. He was a good man, a kind neighbor and willing helper in all neighborhood affairs. The community has truly lost a valuable citizen.

The funeral was conducted on Wednesday, January 17 by Elder J. A. SPENCER, of Sandborn. The interment was in the church yard cemetery.
