CATHERINE (FREDERICK) LANDERS MILLER, 08 Oct 1809 - 11 Jan 1901

   Catherine Frederick was born in Columbiana county, Ohio, Oct 8, 
1809, and died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Sarah Perkins, in 
Springfield, LaGrange county, Ind., Jan 11, 1901, aged 91 years, 3 
months and 2 days.
   In the year 1826 she was married to Joseph Landers, and eight 
children were born to them, three sons and five daughters, six of 
whom live to mourn the loss of a good mother.  She and her husband 
lived happily until his death in 1847.  After her husband died she 
moved to Salem Center, where she lived on a farm.  In 1852 she was 
married to John Miller, who died in 1867.  She remained on her farm 
for twenty years after the death of Mr. Miller.  She then sold her 
farm and lived three years with her daughter, Mrs. Caris, and since 
that time she has lived with another daughter, Mrs. Perkins, at 
Brushy Prairie.  She was a member of the M. E. church since her 
girlhood and was a kind and loving mother.   She had a large circle 
of friends, and many will be the sighs when they hear of their aged 
friend's death and remember her kind words, deeds and cheerful ways.
