| 5503 | Thomas Adams Story - It was in the dead of winter, in a farm house 5 miles west of Woodbine, Iowa with Dr. Elmer J. Cole in attendance, where I was born on Jan. 8, 1902. Sister Elsie, did on many occasions, tease me about being born on the same day that our dog had puppies and that the family paid no attention to me for days. For some reason, I was given the name of Thomas instead of giving it to one of my older brothers, which was the name of my father and his father and of his father and his father. My middle name, Moody, was taken from the great preacher-teacher of the Bible, Dwight L. Moody, who at that time was the great Christian leader out of the city of Chicago. (Mr.Moody would be comparable to Billy Graham of today, 1993). I was privileged to get a good education because a number of relatives and friends thought that I should, and that I would succeed in it. I started school when I was six, in the first grade, in a country school with Helen Mann as my teacher for several terms. After one more country school, our farming district consolidated with Pisgah, IA schools and I was riding to town school in a bus. It was horse drawn and commonly known as the `kid-hack, looking quite different than the school buses of today. Two years later, I was driving one of these teams and attending Magnolia High School. Father had died, mother had moved to a much smaller farm out of the district but I was able to stay with sister Elsie and her husband John Ashcraft. I did chores. plus farm work on the week ends for my room and board. I drove the bus team for a Walter Crom for wages. Now, I was going to school and making money above expenses. Years later, Mr. Crom became my grandfather. I married his grand-daughter, Thelma Whitney. By now I was about sixteen years old, weighing 130 pounds and was considered a full grown man, as far as work was concerned. I could tend any of the crops in the field and do all of the chores on the average Iowa farm. John and Elsie moved, so I found other work, lived with brother Ray and Florence part of the time, then with a new family by the name of Ralph Whitney. I was given board and room if I would drive his team and surrey to take his three daughters to the Magnolia Consolidated School. (In Iowa, most small schools had all 12 grades in the same building; gym, shops and boiler room were in the sub-basement, first six grades on the first floor, junior high and high school on the top floor.) I was a senior by now, the oldest Whitney girl, Thelma was in the eighth grade, but the `bug' got a hold of me real quick like -- I liked her,--then I loved her,--then I married her, even though it took eight years of waiting and planning. Both of us finished our college education and did some teaching before the time was right. Details of the wait of eight years, might be interesting to you but we will bypass except to say that her folks were having financial troubles and we gave to their need while we waited. I graduated from Magnolia High School in the spring of 1921, second highest in the class, which by the way was pretty small. Basketball and baseball were our two inter school sports. Baseball was played in the fall and in the spring and basketball during the long winter months. I was able to make the teams all four years and was elected captain two of the years. You would laugh at the size of the gym. that we played in but most schools were just like ours so handicaps were even. We were never champions, but we did win our share of games in both sports. I'm sure that Richard and Robert will get a kick out of this little side story about my baseball playing. I was the pitcher, outfielder and the long ball hitter, even though I didn't weigh 140 pounds. (now the first laugh is coming up.) We had a woman as our coach because she was better at it than either one of our men teachers would have been. She was really just our sponsor. I needed a coach as much as any one on the team. I was a poor orphan farm boy, who knew so little about proper techniques, etc. I didn't know that it was natural, in some cases to write and throw right handed and to bat, scoop, spade or chop wood left handed. In my stupidity, and no correction from the coach or teammates, I went to the plate as a right handed batter but held the bat like a left handed batter, thus I batted cross handed. (How very akward it looks to me now.) It was six or seven years later, when I was on the junior and senior class teams in college that I was switched to bat left handed or to bat, correctly, right handed. Now I was a switch hitter, batting clean up position and hitting 500% with line drives down the third base line and the long ball into left center. Much later in life I could often see myself, when I watched Richard do likewise when playing for Hartnell (Salinas) and on the city softball teams. The year after I graduated from H.S. a Mr Allen Neiman came to our little town of Magnolia, Iowa, to be the new Supt. He and I worked together in our small Methodist church and through that contact, he must have seen something that he liked. He suggested that I not return to college in Grinnel, where I had spent one good year, but to enroll at his Alma Mater, Central Missouri Teachers College, in Warrensburg, Missouri, and become a teacher. (I wasn't going to make it as an engineer, because my little school hadn't offered enough basic math.) He offered to write to the college, help me get work to pay for my board and to loan me money, by sending me a check every month, which I could pay back when I started to teach. This plan worked out fine. I washed dishes and waited tables in the college's new cafeteria. The overtime paid me some spending money. Two years later, he hired me as his fourth grade teacher, in my own home town. (Magnolia) Who would be in my class that first year but my own brother C.G. and my nephew, Kenneth Ashcraft. They were no problem. Every-thing was working out as planned. The biggest problem was that, my sweetheart, my fiance, Thelma Whitney was a H.S. senior. We did manage some sneak dates, but mainly, we knew the problem that might arise so gritted our teeth and abided by the rules of teacher not dating a pupil, even if we had been engaged before I was hired.-- I returned to college for the summer session & who would be there, but my fiance, Thelma (It was planned, Huh?) In the meantime, Mr. Neiman recommended me to another Supt. in the same county, to teach in his his high school as the agriculture and shop teacher and be their athletic coach. I hardly made a formal application and was hired by Mr. Moore to join the faculty at Dunlap. Supt. Moore said, when he gave me the contract to sign, "If you live up to every-thing that Mr.Neiman said about you, you will be an asset to yourself, to me and to the whole school system, and I hope that you do." Two years later, the Dunlap schools were going to need a new Home Ec. teacher so I suggested that my girl friend, Thelma Whitney, was graduating with Home Ec. as her `Major (she graduated with two majors). He reminded me that if she were considered and hired that we could remain as dating friends but if we married she would have to resign, since rules were on the books that married teachers could not teach for them. I agreed, he took her address, mailed her a contract. She hadn't even applied but was she surprised and PLEASED to get that kind of a letter. Down deep, I feel that that was one of the proudest moments of my life. It was proof that I had made good on the `things' that were said about me. Thelma Maurine (Whitney) Adams, was born, a farmer's daughter in the North-East part of Missouri (Shelbina,MO.) on October 9, 1906. This was also my mother's birthday - just 36 years apart. Thelma was the oldest of four daughters, the others were Bessie Ruby Whitney Harper, Doris Nadine Whitney Roseke and Rose Anna Whitney Mullen. Rose Anna was young enough to be Thelma's daughter and it turned out that she was - because after their mother died when Rose Anna was not yet two (1930) and two years later Tom & Thelma took her to raise. Most of Thelma's young life was in Missouri (Shelbina & El Dorado Springs, Missouri were two of the towns) or in different parts of Harrison County, Iowa. Graduating with Valedictorian Honors in 1924, from Magnolia High School. Rural schools provided her with a good education, mostly because she was a quiet, interested, well adjusted pupil all of the way. Too, somewhere in her early life she was able to get piano lessons. Here, too, she was an apt student. When the lessons were cut-off because of no money for more, her practice time increased. She used the basics and an intense interest to carry herself on and on. Music served a real purpose in her life in many ways - She was the church and Sunday School pianist in the congregational church in Magnolia, Iowa when we first met. She did a similar service in other churches and in other towns during her adult and married life. She didn't sing as well as she might have because the Doctor erred and cut her palate while he was taking out her tonsils. During her teen years she played all of the common sheet music, school music books, church song books plus the ETUDE magazine numbers. Thelma used the piano to help `cool-off' during moments of worry, sorrow, anger as well as when she was happy and gay. To her, the piano was a GREAT release valve. During her early married life she took lessons on the trombone and played in the little town band of Auburn, Iowa, for their Saturday night concerts. Because she was a farmer's daughter, living away from the bigger & better stores and because their home was always supplied with the Sears catalogue - most of her youth shoes were purchased via mail order. In her case, this was BAD. Too often the shoes were too small and too short but because they were new she would say that they fit and she wanted to keep them. This resulted in her having `hammer' toes and many corns plus much body pains from these aching feet. She would often say and be supported by statements from shoe store employees and Doctors that, `people with good feet could not possibly know how much pain is caused from aching feet. During her married life she bought corrective shoes that didn't have too much style but they did much toward easing the pain and tired feeling. [note here: Some of this feet problem must have been inherited, Roberta had two surgeries on her left foot from hammer toes, and some of the grandchildren also have `funny toes]. Back to H.S. days - in dear old Magnolia High, she was a very good basketball player, quick, accurate and determined. In those days the length of the court was divided into 3 equal parts. The forwards stayed in their 1/3 and the jumping & running centers in theirs. She was the running center at five feet two and 100 pounds. She was also outstanding in giving dramatic readings often of her own writing. Following H.S. she enrolled in my College in Warrensburg, Missouri. The GOOD qualities that are characteristic of all top students carried her thru college in three years with `A' grades in surplus and being chosen to join a National Honorary Society for outstanding students. Money - rather the lack of it, was always a problem----- with the Whitney's. She convinced her parents of her ability to work if they would permit her to go, which they did. She chose Home Economics as her major, did fine from the start, thus was recommended to two `old maid ladies to be their cook and maid. She proved that her meal planning and the way it was prepared and served was O K , thus she kept this work through most of her time in college. Her college life was much different than mine. I taught during the school year and returned to college during the summer months, while she stayed in college for three full years, thus was able to get four years of college finished in three years. Even though I beat her out of high school by three years she beat me out of college by one year. How do you like that.? Thelma was a perfectionist, not that she asked or expected others to be, but that she wanted, as an individual, to be one. Her motto was, "My best is none too good" She wanted to sew the finest stitch and keep the straightest line that could be sewn, not to beat someone, because it was not for display, but just because it should be that way. Sewing was her hobby. She was most happy when Roberta came into our lives. She found it easier to make many different dresses for her than she did in making shirts for the two boys. It is only right and proper that TOM and THELMA add a postscript to this page-- because it more correctly, completes our family. Thelma's sister, ROSE ANNA, was born Apr 25, 1928 -- we were married Apr 27, 1929, and the girl's mother Hattie Blanche (Crom) Whitney, died Apr 19, 1930. In addition, DORIS, the third daughter was 16 and had not completed H.S. The father had changed farms and with a housekeeper was attempting to `carry-on'. Thelma saw the troubled situation and suggested to the father that we take the two girls into our home and provide for them at our expense. In a few weeks - the father agreed. Thus Doris was a senior in our Auburn schools. After graduation we enrolled her in the college in Kearney Neb. After her graduation there she became a school teacher then married to Evron Roseke and is now retired and enjoying and spoiling 15 grandchildren of their own. During this time of DORIS and her growing up -- ROSE ANNA had become attached to us as our own because our own three R's were yet to be born. In order to be a bit closer to his daughters -- the father gave up farming for himself and found work as a farm hand near our Auburn school. This situation became quite ideal. All worked together -GOOD. ROSEANNA was `our' little girl and when our own three children arrived they grew up as brothers and sisters even tho R.A. was really their aunt. When we moved R.A. moved even to Calif. After H.S. graduation she attended our Hartnell Jr. College got a job with the telephone Co. until her marriage to JACK KERWIN MULLEN. and became the mother of four children. Jack did many different jobs and finally became a career Navy man thus they lived away from us quite a lot--but never out of touch. After THELMA'S death in 1949 - she still felt that my home was her home and whenever possible came to visit. A joyous time was each visit until she became bed ridden with breast cancer. ROSE ANNA was one sweet person. I enjoyed her as a `dtr' for 44 beautiful yrs. [this story continued]One of her last requests when she was quite ill was to come to Salinas-- "I want to go see my "dad"--" and they brought her. God bless her and them.

| 5506 | Thomas Tibbals was born in England in 1615, came to America in the company of Zacharia Whitman (who was later ruling Elder of Milford) on the sailing ship "The Truelove", in 1635. This was the final sailing of the year, leaving London on September 19th of that year. Thomas Tibbals is listed as a "person of quality", probably meaning he is distinguished from an "indentured servant" or in other words he was able to pay his way. Passage from England cost twenty pounds (Ð20). Thomas is mentioned in "History of Milford, Connecticut, 1639-1939". Bridgeport, Conn.. Press of Braunworth & Co.. 1987. Thomas is believed to have landed somewhere on the coast of Massachusetts. Our first authentic records finds him in Connecticut, being a member of the troop who fought the Pequots (Indians). While thus serving his adopted country he had seen a beautiful spot with plentiful water; "potable water" as it was called. Later when a group who wanted to found a settlement composed of all church members met, he told the leaders of this spot. Thomas Tibbals is said to have been the first English settler to have seen the Valley of Wapowang (Wepowaug is another spelling), where later the land was purchased from the Indians for a settlement. It was when the Indians, dislodged from their stronghold at Pequot, were in retreat toward the westward, that Thomas Tibbals, one of a party in pursuit, was detached from the main body to insure against any lurking body of the enemy being left to harass the rear of the English forces, and secreted in the neck of land between the Housatonic and Long Island Sound." "Thomas Tibbals at that time noted the natural features of the locality for a desirable place for settlement having a river of considerable size on the West, and, after the settlement at Quinnipiac, a friendly settlement at the East, and a tribe of friendly natives desiring the protection of the English, who being well-armed, could insure them against attack by the more formidable and hostile tribes that had for so long been exacting tribute from them, and as a mutual protection to both the English and the natives, the hunting instincts of the natives was a guard against a surprise (attack) from the interior." "Besides this immunity from hostile sources there was the further attraction of a goodly supply of potable water, and a well-sheltered harbour for shipping with plentiful game in the forest, and sea-food in the waters; wood was sufficiently plentiful for fuel and land for cultivation". "It was yet to be proven the locality was also more than ordinarily healthful as was learned when among 200 or more settlers, no organic disease developed for about six (6) years, the first death being that of little Soloman East from a child's complaint. The next death being that of Mrs. Nicolas Camp in child-bed after giving birth to twins and taking a chill." "It was probably at the suggestion of Thomas Tibbals that a committee of Hartford men was delegated to view this site, and, if his description etc., were true, and a favorable report made, the committee was empowered to negotiate a purchase." Nathan Stowe believes this is why "Tomas" Tibbals was given the first of several tracts of land, rather than the mere physical fact of his having led the band of settlers. His first land was lot 53 on the original plot of Milford. It seems a "party of Hereford" were desirous of making "a settlement apart from Mr. Davenport's company" and the purchase resulted. (Mr. Davenport seems to have been a combination of spiritual and civic boss in Hartford and possibly in Wethersfield as well.) "June 1638 we find these Planters gathered in the barn of Robert Newman for the purpose of coming to an agreement on the government of the Colony". (Think this refers to New Haven. The original articles there seem to have made property possession the basis for the privilege of voting.) The meeting was not altogether harmonious as other differences came up. The majority favoured recognizing church membership as the basis of eligibility to vote on the affairs of the Colony. And it was so decided but it seems Mr. Davenport thought otherwise. A second meeting was held of those who refused to longer subscribe to the idea of "property ownership" citizenship. Among these was Thomas Tibbals and he attended both meetings. The meetings seem to have been led by the Rev. Peter Purden. At the second meeting they decided to form a new colony. (The Newman lot was at the foot of the present Hillhouse Ave. in New Haven on which site now stands the New Haven Colony Historical Society Bldg; presented by Henry Fowler English in memory of Governor and in. State Senator, the late Edward English, his father and Caroline Fowler English, his mother a direct descendant of Wm Fowler of Milford, the founder and builder or the First Mill.) Among these it is reported was "Serg't Tibbals who had served in the Pequot War, under Capts. Mason, Stoughton and Underhill". Here it appears he "recommended going to the location he had observed and in August 1639 led the group to the Spot." "In recognition the valuable... (words missing), imparted by Sergeant Tibbals, he was on two separate occasions granted land in the settlement, a beginning that has come to be the town of Milford". In 1889, a memorial bridge was built to honor the first settlers. There is a stone in it dedicated to Thomas Tibbals "for showing the First comers to the place." His will is in New Haven Probate Records, Vol. 2, page 308. His son, Thomas II was given;"A piece of my land lying by the meadowside for a debt that is due him to be disposed of equally between his 3 sons, namely, Thomas III, Samuel and Joseph." Thomas 1St made his mark on the will but we do not know whether this is because he could not write or because of the infirmities of old age. He was 84 years of age by this time. The early experiences of these colonists were not noticeably different from those of others elsewhere in New England. The 40 or 50 odd families were of hardy English stock. They and their families walked with their cattle the nine or ten miles through the woods while a part of their household goods was taken around the coast by boat. Here at the new home site the leaders had met the Indian chief, Ansantawai, and traded "coats, blankets, kettles, hatchets, hoes, knives and mirrors" for the land. Ansantawai had signed the deed with his mark, a crudely drawn tomahawk, and given formal possession to the purchasers by the "twig and turf" ceremonial; That is, he took a clod of dirt and stuck into it a twig from a tree. This he handed to the English leader as a token of surrender of land and all that grew there on. The RED men reserved the privileges of hunting and fishing in the territory surrounding the village. These Indians never reneged on this treaty nor molested the villagers in any way.

Ask your friends, and you'll find that many of their ancestors came from Kumamoto, Nagasaki, Hiroshima, Yamaguchi, Fukuoka and other southwestern cities. Why that came to be is an interesting story. In 1887 an unsuccessful rebellion against Emperor Meiji was launched on Kyushu island in Japan. The Satsuma Rebellion marked the end of the samurai class in Japan, which resisted the emperor's modernization efforts. The 2003 movie "The Last Samurai," starring Tom Cruise and Ken Watanabe, told the tragic story of the rebellion. In the aftermath of the Satsuma Rebellion, Kyushu and even nearby areas of southern Honshu, such as Hiroshima and Yamaguchi, were economically depressed. Many there jumped at the chance to work in Hawaii. King Kalakaua first raised the issue of Japanese immigration to Hawaii when he met with Emperor Meiji six years earlier in 1881. Hawaii's population had fallen and sugar planters needed labor. The first large wave of immigrants arrived in February 1885. http://www.staradvertiser.com/businesspremium/20130927__Well-known_personalities_gave_isle_Buddhism_a_boost.html?id=225462572&c=n | Shimono, Tomokichi (I34554072409)

| 5544 | United States Army Veteran. Received the Purple Heart medal for combat wounds suffered in Vietnam. Member, City Council, Cortez, Montezuma County, Colorado. --------------------------------------------------------- Obituary - Timothy Eugene Miller was born April 9, 1948 in Akron, Ohio and proceeded to conquer his world and whatever was in front of him. He passed away at home peacefully on December 27, 2017. He lived in this area as a child and then in Southern California where he met his wife Jo Anna Hamblin and raised his family, daughters Wendy Lee Miller (Eytchison) and Hattie Ann Miller. He and Jo moved back to this area in 1993 where he enjoyed his grandchildren Joey Lauren Eytchison, Sadie Leigh Christensen, Molly Shane Christensen and Grayson Samuel Eytchison. He was also able to fulfill his dream of having a ranch/farm until they bought and remodeled their beautiful home in Cortez four years ago. He was not a big man in stature but his accomplishments and love were gigantic. Those who knew him, even a little knew that the biggest recipients of this love were his God, his beautiful wife and his family. Maybe lesser known was his love for everyone else, the men he served with in Vietnam, the guys he worked with on the construction crews, those he worshipped with every week and anyone who was involved with anything he was passionate about or involved his kids and grandkids. He and Jo adopted coaches, friends, co-workers… whoever was brought into their lives. Tim loved figuring out how to build or do something new. He surfed, skied, golfed, mountain biked, danced, sang (well...?), built things, ran electrical crews on high-rise commercial projects, plumbed an RV park, loved and served well. Recently he was elected city councilman and was truly honored to serve in this way. He appreciated the gifts and strengths of those he served with and was excited to do whatever he could to improve and encourage growth and prosperity in this area. And of course, it didn’t matter what his daughters and grandkids were doing, he was in! 100%!! He was always so generous, with his time especially, but also his resources and he never let any weakness keep him from exercising his great strengths. It just propelled him even more to accept others exactly the way they were. His family invites you to enjoy time with them while they honor their dad and grandpa publicly on January 27, 2018 at 3:00 at Cortez City Hall. (We know it’s a little delayed due to family members with pre-arranged travel plans, but put it on your calendar and join us!) Appetizers and finger foods provided. -------------------------------------------------------------- Cortez Journal newspaper article: Cortez City Council member Tim Miller has died after his second year in government. The 69-year-old Cortez resident was elected to the City Council in 2016 for a four-year term. During his time on the council, he was involved in several major decisions, including the approval of the Southwest Memorial Hospital remodel and other new construction projects, endorsing a new airline for the Cortez Municipal Airport and the creation of a public art advisory board. He died Wednesday at his home in Cortez, Kinsey Ertel of Ertel Funeral Home said. Fellow council member Jill Carlson, who was elected the same year as Miller, described Miller as a dedicated man who considered his council position a “new career.” “He was always prepared for meetings and took time to research areas he was not familiar with before making decisions,” she said in a written statement. “He was not a complacent city councilor, and he will be missed.” Mayor Karen Sheek, City Manager Shane Hale and Cortez marketing and events manager Jon Brooks declined to comment until the city released an official statement on Miller’s death sometime after New Year’s Day. “Out of respect for the family and letting them grieve, we will hold off on saying anything until next week,” Brooks said. A former electrician, Miller emphasized his desire to support existing local businesses and encourage new ones to move into the area during his campaign for City Council. After he was elected, he consistently voted for measures that would let businesses expand, such as an ordinance that allows restaurants to apply for licenses to serve alcohol on city-owned streets. He approved numerous design plans and liquor licenses for new businesses, and was among the council members who voted to endorse Boutique Air as Cortez’s new primary airline. He supported many of the downtown construction projects that began or were completed in 2017, including the last steps in a remodel of the new City Hall. He also voted for the ordinance that created the city’s new public art advisory committee in October. At his last council meeting, on Nov. 28, he helped to finalize the city’s draft budget for 2018. In addition to the City Council, Miller was on the board of directors for the Montezuma Community Economic Development Association. Miller’s death will leave a third vacancy on the City Council, where two term-limited members, Bob Archibeque and Shawna McLaughlin, will be leaving in 2018. Miller, a Vietnam veteran, was born in Akron, Ohio, on April 9, 1948, according to his obituary. He also lived in Southern California, where he met his wife, Jo Anna Hamblin, and raised their daughters Wendy Lee Miller (Eytchison) and Hattie Ann Miller. He and his wife moved returned to Cortez area in 1993, his obituary said. Jo Anna Miller died just over two months ago, on Oct. 11, 2017. Miller is survived by two daughters, Wendy Eytchison and Hattie Miller, and four grandchildren. Miller’s family invites the public to join them in honoring his memory on Jan. 27 at 3 p.m. at Cortez City Hall, 123 Roger Smith Ave. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ City of Cortez to hold public funeral for councilman Tim Miller to be honored at City Hall By Stephanie Alderton Journal Staff Writer Saturday, Jan. 20, 2018 7:15 PM ------------------ The public is invited to attend the funeral of a Cortez council member on Saturday. Councilman Tim Miller died of natural causes at age 69 on Dec. 27, after serving on the board for almost two years. A service in honor of him will be held at City Hall. Miller’s family has announced the funeral will be open to the public. In addition to serving on the council, Miller was a member of the Cortez Cultural Center’s board of directors and the Montezuma Community Economic Development Association. During his campaign for city council, he emphasized his support for local businesses, and once elected in 2016, he regularly voted in favor of measures designed to help businesses expand, even when that put him at odds with the rest of the council. In a statement released by the city on Jan. 3, city manager Shane Hale wrote that Miller was “always in a good mood and quick with a smile,” and praised his work ethic. “In his time as a City Councilman, Tim Miller took his job seriously,” Hale wrote. “He was always well prepared for discussion, and showed the courage of his convictions when he held the minority opinion.” Several members of the city staff, including Mayor Karen Sheek, have said they plan to attend Miller’s funeral. Sheek said she admired Miller’s enthusiasm for the committees on which he served, and felt he often went “above and beyond” what was required of him as a council member. “He had really strong opinions on things, but if he ever felt he had been too forceful, he was the first to say so,” she said. “He always wanted to work with his fellow council members ...he is certainly going to be missed.” Miller’s funeral begins at 3 p.m. in the council chambers at City Hall, 123 N. Roger Smith Ave. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cortez honors memory of late councilman Tim Miller Over 100 crowd into City Hall for memorial serviceBy Stephanie Alderton Journal Staff WriterSunday, Jan. 28, 2018 5:00 PMThe council chambers at City Hall in Cortez were packed Saturday afternoon with people wanting to honor late councilman Tim Miller. More than 100 people attended the service, including several other council members and city staff along with Miller’s two daughters and their families. Miller died of natural causes on Dec. 27 after almost two years on the council, and his family chose to open his memorial service to the public. Several people came forward throughout the service to share memories of Miller, whom they described as a good father and husband, a hard-working soldier and businessman, and a devout Christian. Miller’s daughter Wendy Eytchison said the city of Cortez offered the council chambers as a location for the memorial service because of Miller’s work there as a councilman. “He was so proud to be on the council,” she said. “It was very important for him.” But the service mainly focused on other aspects of Miller’s life, like his more than 50-year marriage to his late wife, Jo Anna. Their daughter Hattie Miller read from some of the letters Miller wrote to Jo Anna while he was deployed in the Vietnam War. “When this year is over, we will never be separated again,” one of the letters read. “We’ll spend the rest of our lives making each other happy in our little world of love.” The Millers remained together until Jo Anna’s death in October 2017. TL Roofing, a Durango-based contractor company owned by friends of the Miller family, paid for appetizers to be served outside the chambers, catered from The Farm Bistro in Cortez. During the service, attendees looked at pictures from throughout Miller’s life, his Purple Heart medal from combat in Vietnam and other mementos. Hattie Miller sang his favorite hymn, “How Great Thou Art,” and Eytchison’s husband, Matt, sang a rendition of Simon and Garfunkel’s “The Sound of Silence,” which Miller came to enjoy toward the end of his life. Although many city officials, including Mayor Karen Sheek, attended the service, most of them stayed quiet and let the family members speak. In the weeks following Miller’s death, though, several people who served with him on the council spoke of his willingness to work with others, even though he often disagreed with them, and his quickness to admit when he had made a mistake. A recurring theme in all the family’s memories of Miller was his love for others, which they said always drove his actions despite his sometimes abrasive personality. His granddaughter, Sadie Christensen, said he often shared Job, his favorite book of the Bible, with her during hard times. “He was the kind of person who always had everybody’s back,” she said. “He would read me this story and sit there and talk about how, through the most painful things, the most beautiful things come out of it.” https://the-journal.com/articles/82747-cortez-honors-memory-of-late-councilman-tim-miller | Miller, Timothy Eugene (I34554072866)
