The deceased was in the 71st year of his age, and was a member of the banking firm of D.O. Mills & Co., one of the most flourishing banking insitutions in the Golden State. Mr. Miller was born in 1807, and was also, for many years, a resident of Lee, Oneida county, New York, where he has many warm friends. In 1833 he removed to Michigan, and afterwards to Milwaukee. In 1850 he went to California, and after a time he engaged in the banking business, as a clerk of D.O. Mills, and finally became a member of the firm under the firm name of D.O. Mills & Co., and remained so until the time of his death. He was a noble, generous hearted man, whose ears were ever open to the appeals of the needy, and whose hand was always outstretched for the relief of the suffering. He leaves a wife and several children to mourn his death.

The Sacramento Daily Bee, of the 29th of January 1878, contains the following notice of Mr. Millers death:

DEATH OF HENRY MILLER. -- Another of Sacramento's best and most estimable citizens has passed away. About noon today, Henry Miller, who for years past has been considered the head and front of the bank of D.O. Mills & Co., of this city, in which he held a large interest, breathed his last. Mr. Miller had been unwell for a long time past, but has at times been able to attend to business, and about a week ago was out. Last night he was taken with a final chill and this morning it was felt that the end was near with him. He has resided continuously in this city for about twenty-seven years, raised a large family and accumulated a fortune here, and has always been greatly respected here. He was a native of Rome, New York, aged 71 years.

Mr. Miller came to this State in 1850, from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and settled in this city. In 1851 he held the position of Deputy City Treasurer, and in 1856 went into the bank of D.O. Mills & Co., as partner, since which time he has been identified with that institution, and at the time of his death was Vice President of the Corporation.

March 8, 1872

MOFFATT - At Lee Center, New York, on the morning of March 3, 1872, of Billous Colic, Charles B. Moffatt, of Rome, New York, aged about 30 years.

The sudden death of this young man at Lee Center last Friday morning gave rise to a rumor which does not need correcting with those who were acquainted with him, but which might mislead others - viz., that he committed suicide. In a conversation with Rev. R. Flint, Pastor of the M. E. Church at Lee Center, who was with him the greater part of the time during his brief illness, we learn the following facts:

Mr. Moffatt went up to Lee Center on business in a sleigh last Friday, arriving there about three o'clock in the afternoon. He complained of being very cold from his ride, but started out into the street and called at Mr. Flint's house. Not finding Mr. F. at home, he proceeded to the house of another resident (we do not remember where) where he was taken sick, within less than an hour after his arrival at Lee Center. A physician was called, who pronounced it a severe case of bilious colic. Rev. Mr. Flint was sent for and he and the physician and the family belonging to the house did all in their power to make him comfortable. The next day Mr. Moffatt was somewhat relieved from the pain, and the physician and friends had no idea that his illness would terminate fatally. The mother of the sick man went to Lee Center on Saturday and took the care of nursing him upon herself. About two o'clock Sunday morning he rose in bed for some purpose, but fell back, apparently in a swoon. It soon became evident that he was dying, and in a short time he passed away. Mr. Moffatt has been rather feeble for some time past, and he probably lacked vitality to recover from the prostration brought on by the severe pain to which he had been subjected.

Monroe, John

Rome Sentinel
April 20, 1916

Westmoreland - "Uncle" John Monroe is dead. The end came yesterday at his home in this village where he had lived in retirement for several years, and he will be greatly missed here for a long time to come. "Uncle" John was one of the most genial and companionable men and he lived a busy and interesting life. He was 79 years old. In 1857, when he was 20 years old, Monroe left the home in Sangerfield where he was born and the same year found him at St. Louis with a small company of pioneers and a few hard-earned dollars in his pocket. In the spring of the following year he went up the Missouri River on a flat boat and staked a claim on government land where the city of Omaha now stands. He served for a year or two as Indian agent, acquiring a working knowledge of the Sioux and Cheyenne dialects and then established a trading post for himself.

At this point he numbered among his new friends Billie Cody, scout express rider, and buffalo hunter, and Kit Carson, scout, guide, and Indian fighter. Carson was already a celebrity and Cody, afterward to become famous as Buffalo Bill, was earning his spurs. Both men frequently were entertained at Monroe's camps when he was operating a wagon train between Omaha and Denver and more than once were of great assistance to him in hostile country.

Mr. Monroe conducted his wagon train and trading operations between Omaha and Denver for several years and prospered in spite of the difficulties that had to be overcome. The distance between the two places was 600 miles and he made three trips a year. He and his outriders had many exciting experiences with hostile and thieving Indians, but although his men traveled fully armed he, himself, never carried a gun.

Mr. Monroe returned east in 1863 when he was informed of the death of his grandfather at Sangerfield. In the following year he married Miss Margaret Bork of Lorena and they came to Westmoreland to live. He operated a farm here until 1889 and then he opened the Monroe Hotel, which soon became known as one of the best country hotels in this part of the state. Mr. Monroe made friends easily and his house, during the fifteen years that he conducted it was never dull. When prohibition hit the town some years ago he closed the hotel and retired.

His surviving relatives are his widow, a half-brother Charles Monroe and two half-sisters, Mrs. George Allen of Sangerfield and Mrs. Elizabeth Crouch of Brooklyn.

Funeral services will be held at 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon and friends are invited to attend. Burial will be made in Evergreen Cemetery at Stokes at the convenience of the family.
