In her native town of Brookfield, April 15, 1915, Janette C. Miller entered into rest. With her twin brother, Lafayette, she came to gladden the home of Samuel H. and Olive Brown Coon on May 24, 1824, and thus had nearly reached her ninety-first birthday.
About 1850 she was married to Edward C. Miller and the early years of their home life were spent in Wisconsin at what was then called Christiana. To this place she often referred with pleasure and to the people who were prominent in the Seventh Day Baptist Denomination at that time and in succeeding years. She had a vivid memory.
To them were born a daughter, Alice, Mrs. A. C. Rogers, of Los Angeles, Cal., and a son, Adelbert C. Miller, of Brookfield. In 1866 they returned to New York State, and subsequently lived a year in Michigan and later some time in Virginia, but she came back to spend her later years in her native town.
She united with the Second Brookfield Seventh Day Baptist Church by letter, November 8, 1867, and was faithful to its obligations until she was called to join the Church triumphant. As long as strength permitted she was an interested reader of the Recorder, thus keeping in touch with denominational events, the home and foreign missionaries and their needs. Hers was a sunny and generous nature, and she was willing to share her comforts with a friend or those in need. After Mr. Miller's death, which occurred January 27, 1892, her home was with her daughter until recently, when it has been with her son.
Her funeral was at the son's home, Sabbath afternoon, conducted by the pastor, Rev. W. L. Davis, and the tired body was laid to rest beside her husband in the Brookfield Rural Cemetery. A good and useful life is ended on earth but begun in heaven.
