A TRIBUTE. The Biogra; hv of Cot. M. B. Miller as Read by Hon. A. 0. Marsh. At the funeral services of Martin B. Miller conducted at the Methodist church Winchester Thursday Hon. A. O. Marsh read the following: Martin B. Miller was born in Randolph County, Indiana, on March 15th, 1833, and died at the residence of his son in law, Lewis G. Ellingham in Decatur, Indiana, on Monday evening, November 30, 1903, aged 70 years, 8 months and 15 days. His early years were spent on the farm of his father, and he attended the district schools of that day. After he reached his majority he determined upon obtaining further school education. In 1853, 54, 55 he attended several sessions of White Water College at Centerville Indiana. He afterward attend ed part of two terms at Asbury University in 1856. Taught school in the winter of ’56-7 and in the Autumn of that year, attended Miami University at Oxford, Ohio. In 1858 he began the study of law with Judge James Brown of Winchester remaining with him until the following autumn, when he went to Missouri and taught school one winter. In the fall of 1860 he returned to Winchester and engaged in the practice of law with Judge Jere Smith. In the winter of 1861-2 he attended the law department of Butler University graduating at the close of the school year. In August 1862 he enlisted in the United States service was commissioned a lieutenant and recruited Company E S4th Regiment Indiana Volunteer Infantry; was promoted to the captaincy of that company upon its organization and continued in the active discharge of his duties as such two years. In January 1865 he was commissioned Major; April 12 he was promoted and commissioned Lieutenant Colonel, and brevetted full Colonel for meritorious service June 1 1865, and at the close of the war, was mustered out with the regiment. He was with his command and prticipated in the most arduous and dangerous campaigns of the war through the states of Kentucky, West Virginia, Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia. Was engaged in the battle of Chickamauga, Mission Bilge, Buzzards Roost, Rocky Face Ridge, Dallas, Resaca, Pine Mountain, Altoona, Culp s Farm Peach Tree Creek, Kenesaw. Atlanta, Jonesboro, Lovejoy Station, Marritt’s Mills, Franklin and Nashville, and passed through them all without injury except Chickamauga where his hip was grazed by a bullet.

After his discharge from the service he again resumed the practice of his profession in Winchester with Judge Leander J. Monks as his partner, under the firm name of Miller & Monk. This partnership was dissolved in 1871, when he engaged for a time in other pursuits, which included a manufacturing enterprise at Decatur, Indiana, with which he severed his connection in 1876, when he again resumed the practice of law in Winchester and was at different times associated with Alexander Gulett, Emmerson McGriff and John Enos Heft. In 1885 he was apj>ointed a special examiner for the Pension Bureau and with a shorty intermission continued in this capacity and in other employment for the Pension Bureau at Washington until he was sricken with disease which finally caused his death. His record in this field of usefulness is highly creditable to him. Col. Miller practiced law 4 great many years but dkl n t make it the

exclusive vocation of his business life. He, however, established a wide reputation as a good, sound, safe, honest, upright, lawyer, always true to his clients’ interests. His greatest strength in the law, as well as the other walks of ilfe, was his strong common sense and the accuracy of his judgment about the ordinary affairs and transactions .of men. His legal attainments I j were of a high order. His general characteristics in his i I professional, business and social relations were those of straight-for-I wardness, candor and uniform kindness. He never sought advantage by indirection or deceit; his friendships were not made hastily but I when established were strong and > enduring and never bounded by social or financial conditions or political party lines. On Feb. 4th, 1864 he was married to Miss Sarah J. Aker, daughter of * Hon. Andrew Aker of th s city, with whom he has lived most happily almost forty years, and who survives to mourn his loss, but not who sorrows not as one without hope. Three children were born to them, only one of whom survives him, Mrs. Nellie Ellingham wife of L. G. Ellingham now living in Decatur, Indiana. Col. Miller was essentially a home man. His tastes and habits were domestic, and his private life was sweet and pure. The best and most anxious hours of his life have been spent in the effort to provide his family with the comforts of life and insure them against possible dependence in the future; he died knowing that in this he had been abundantly successful. While he had never made any profession of religion until within two years, he had always a leaning to the Methodist Episcopal church, to which his mother, wife and daughter belonged. He recently joined that church and died in full com munion.

On Jan. 4th, 1902, at Washington. City, where he then resided, Co]. Miller was stricken with the disease from which he died and from the effects of which he became absolutely helpless. He was, as soon as it could be done, brought home. —as he himself said—to die, and for nearly two years he has lain thus, tenderly cared for by loving hands of wife, children and friends, every want anticipated and all the curatives of medical science exhausted in the plain effort to restore him to health. During all this time he has been in the full possession of all his mental faculties and realized the dreadful truth of his hopeless physical condition. He has borne up under it all most patiently,cheerfully, nobly. No word of complaint passed his lips. He met his friends with the same cordiality and kindness of manner that characterized his intercourse with his fellows in health. He kept in touch with passing events and was always anxious for information about friends and especially his old comrades of the war, for whose welfare he was always most solicitous. At last, when worn out and exhausted in this unequal struggle for life, he met death, that inexorable, terrible enemy of mortaliy with the same composure and philosophical resignation to the inevitable with which on the battle field he faced the cannon’s mouth. A short time before losing consciousness he expressed himself as ready and anxious to die, assured his sorrowing family of his absolute confidence in his preparations for the future, and that all was well with him. Col. Miller has a proud military record, and, while he was reticent about his army service and was the last inan to exploit them to the public, his close friends know that way down deep in his heart Col. Miller loved his comrades in arms most dearly, that he cherished the memories of the war, and of his services therein and was indeed most proud of his record as a military officer, as well as all who served under him know and will gladly testify he had a just right to be. His military life was characteristic of the man, qniet, unassuming, without bluster or parade he went about the business of war with the same good sense and judgment, the same serenity and self possession of manner that he would exercise in the transaction of the ordinary business affairs of civil life. He never lost his head however sudden the emergency or grave the responsibility. The possession and exercise of arbitrary power did not inflate his vanity of his ambition. He 1

was as self possssed and as com pletely master of himself in presence of a major general as a 4th Corporal. Yielding to the former all the respectful obedience which he mildey exacted from the other. Hundreds of young officers, unused as they were to the exercise of au- ■ thority and command, when intrusted with it, became inflated with their own importance. For such Col. Miller had a profound contempt. He was built upon a broader plan. He had inherited from good old Puritan ancestry the sterling qualities of courage and good common sense and the training he had at home strengthened and invigorated them. It was upon this solid and substantial basis that he built his military character and achieved successes whch shed and shall continue to shed luster upon his name now that he is gone and his life work is done. Col. Miller's life has been a long one, covering more than the allotted three score years and ten. It has been a useful one, because he has taken up his manifold duties in the various walks of life which his now lifeless feet havejtrod, and faithfully discharged them with conscientious fidelity to duty. It has been a busy one as a glance at the hasty record of his achievements discloses. It has been partriotic and honorable, as the long list of battles in which he engaged with distincition and honor in defense of his country and its flag testifies. In his death his country looses one of its bravest defenders and most patriotic citizens: his wide circle of friends, a genial and lovable companion; his family a faithful and devoted husband and father.
