Miller Tops At Fairlawn
Viola Mary (Short) Miller was recently honored as the Fairlawn Resident
of the Month for June, 1998.
She was born on September 3, 1917, the youngest
child of John and Sarah Short. She and her five brothers grew up on her
parent's farm, west of Archbold, on St. Rt. 2. Viola graduated from AHS
in 1935.
She married John Miller on Jan. 30, 1938. They were
wed by E. B. Frey in Viola's home; Glen Nofziger and Rosella Miller
were their witnesses. The Millers raised their family of four sons and
two daughters on a dairy farm, near Fayette.
The fifties were a hard decade for Viola. In August,
John died suddenly from an accidental electrocution. A year later, her
brother, Sylvan, died of a heart attack. Then, in 1957, Viola's
parents-in-law were killed in a car-train accident.
With the help of family and friends, Viola and her
six children stayed through it all on the farm. As her children grew
older, Viola held several jobs away from home. At first, she sold
Bestline products; later, she worked as a cook at Camp Palmer and at
Fairlawn Haven, in the kitchen and dining room. She also assisted with
a Head Start program at Lockport Mennonite
Church.
Over the years, Viola's hobbies have included
reading, art, sewing, embroidery, and gardening. She is also interested
in people around the world, and, when her children lived in Jamaica and
Bolivia, she traveled to see them.
Viola has been a member of Lockport Mennonite Church
for over 60 years. At Fairlawn, she enjoys visiting with people and
attending church services and Bible studies.
Mrs. Mills is survived by a son, Thomas D. III of Hershey; a daughter, M. Barbara Kelley of Vienna, Va.; five grandchildren; two nieces; and a nephew.
Memorial service was Oct 10,1999 at Slate Hill Mennonite Church, with burial in Slate Hill Mennonite Cemetery Camp Hill, PA.
