Auotltor one of Oregon's ctuly day, noble, old pioneer ami Indian fight ers has nnswered Ilia last roll call. Captain John. S. .Miller was born in Clav county, M-ouri, Dec. l!.itli, 18121. Died March Willi, 1012; age 87 yenrs, ;i months and ."i days. Ho came overland across lliu plains with ox teams to Oregon Territory in 18 111, and Ktoppctl near Oregon City. At that lime there wore hut a few white settlers in the country hut thure wore large iiuinbovs of unlive Indians, some of which were hostile and would mur der und steal from the few white settlers at every fnviynWo opportun ity. Ihesu settler hail to protect themselves as best thev could, for our federal government, up I" that time and for several yours after; luul fail ed to give her subjects iu Oregon protection of nuy kiml. In tliou try ing days John S. .Miller was one who was ever ready to respond to thu first call to protect life and property. When the news of tho murder by tho Indians of Dr. Marcus Whitman, his wife and a number of others nt Ilia Whitman Mission i' Walla Wnllu vol Icy, November 'JOtlu 1817, reached them, John ,S. Miller was one among the first who unlisted, under the pr.i visiount government of Oregon, to co und help to punish the Indians for the ernel murders they had committed. Shouldering his -uu and blankets he with others marched on foot two hun dred and sixty miles to the scene of the massacre and there met and chas tised the Indians like true and noble patriots. Later in LS.VJ, he moved to Jackson couutv, Oregon iu company with Captain It. IJ. (iriffen. While on this trip ho married oue Captain (Iriffeu's daughters, Miss Lydia. He settled iu Jackson county on a farm but was ever ready to respond to any cull to protect life and property agamsr. Hostile Indians unit were. numerous at thnt time. Ho took an active part in the Indian war of 183U and in October 85.r, when there was a general outbreak of the Indians nil over southern Oregon, he whs among the first to enlist and served like, n gallant soldier from the beginning to the end, more than seven months; a part of the time as first lieutenant and the remainder of thu time as captain. The men under him loved and rcsected him. He inner stud "go in" but always said "coma on, boys." He was u cool, determined nud cour ageous iu battle but kind nud good to his men. After this Iiidiun wur was over he was elected a member of tho Oregon legislature where he acquit ted himsclf-iu.-inJiononib!e manner. After this he retired to his form with his family where they lived happily until iu 1871, his wife died. This seemed to diicourugo him so much that he could never muster coiirnge to do much nftcrwnrds. They had six children, nil of whom married und the lust few years of his life he lias lived with one or another of them. Ho was city mnrshul of Medford from 188.) to 1000. During his lust illuoi he was nt his own home on Applcgntc. Ho was sick for iuite a while but he bore his sufferings without a mur mur and jmssi'd mwiy peacefully. Ho lived an houorahlo life, loved and re spected by all who Know him; his earthly mission was tillcl.
