Anna Mary Miller Chilton Times June 28, 1913

On Wednesday evening, June 25th, the earthly sufferings of Mrs. Adam Miller were ended when she passed peacefully away at her home on Division Street, surrounded by members of her family at the age fifty-seven years, four months and five days.
Anna Mary Durben was born in Leinberg, Germany, Feb. 20, 1856, and was only three months old when her parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. Peter Durben, came to this country. They came direct to Wisconsin and located on a farm in the town of Brothertown where she grew to womanhood.
In 1872 she was married at Fond du Lac to Adam Miller, then a young man who was following the harness making trade and the following year they came to Chilton and located on what is now a part of the public school grounds, later locating at the Center. Mrs. Miller was a modest, unassuming woman and devoted her entire life to creditably rearing a family of eleven children. Her home life was an ideal one. She was a companion in the truest sense of the word to her husband, sons and daughters and her watchful care guided then safely through their childhood and advancing years. A true wife and mother's devotion were perfectly exemplified in the life of this good woman.
She is survived by her husband, four sons, Michael of this city, Joseph and John of Manitowoc and Frank of St. Louis and seven daughters, Mrs. W. A. Baker of Brillion, Mmes. Edw. Sturm and Nick Schmidkofer of this city, Mrs. W. H. Robinson of Richland Center, Misses Mary, Lucy and Laurine at home. She is also survived by two brothers, Michael Durben of Green bay and John Durben of Chilton town ; three sisters, Mrs. Paul Weber of Marytown, Mmes. Peter Holzknecht and G. Schallock of Milwaukee.
