cont'd from obituary of William (brother)
"His brother, Garrett Miller, was born Nov. 18th, 1786. He came to Ernestown when about 12 years of age. The next year he gave himself to God and to the Church, joined Mr Detlor's class, and remained unshaken in his confidence until his last hour. His stability in relation to the Church of his early choice may be accounted for, in part at least, by the fact that he was an early and constant reader of our church organ; from the first he was want to hail The Christian Guardian as a welcome weekly visitor; close and continued attention to its columns put him in possession of that information which saved himself and others in the years of storm and trial. Others where born off on the tide of division when he remained unmoved, a pillar in the Church of God. In church matters as in his personal experience he often said, "my heart is fixed". He was more knowing and better read in church matters than many of his day. And to his credit, it may also be said, he was more liberal to the cause of God. The house of the Lord was his chief joy; often, when scarcely able to sit up in his chair, he found his way to the place of prayer. His wife's maiden name was Miss Nancy Foster. With her he lived long and happily, leaving behind him 6 married children, and a number of grandchildren. After a long illness of patient suffering he died in great peace, on Monday the 28th of December, 1863.
