Miller, Dr. Charles Copeland

Brother Miller was an outstanding man and minister of the gospel. He loved men and knew how to make them his friends. He was equally at home among men of high or low degree, for his culture never marred or glossed over his humanity. A friend of men, he fought their battles when they could not fight for themselves. Many there are, both living and dead, who ‘have occasion to bless his memory because he entered the lists on their behalf to secure what he believed to be their rights.
His was a strength of intelligence, a keenness of wit, a sense of humor, an ideal of integrity, a wealth of sympathy, an Independence of spirit, a quality of loyalty and courage, a sincere faith iii God, and a resolute purpose and capacity to serve rarely seen combined In such liberal measure in any one life.
Of faults he confessed a share. But though we be critical and extravagant in weighing his faults and’ niggard in assessing his virtues, his manhood still towers high for our admiration and emulation and helps our selfishness to dissolve into more worthy qualities.
Brother Miller is survived by his wife, Mrs. Lillian H. Miller, of Franklinton, by one daughter, Mrs. Harold Demanade of Lafayette, and by one son, Mr. H. M. Miller of Gilliam. He leaves also a half-sister, Mrs. Hattie Kean of Baton Rouge. With these a great host of friends in several states join in cherishing the memory of one whose loss falls upon us all alike. ‘We do not expect to see his like again.
