God hath not promised Sun without rain Joy without sorrow, peace without pain

But God hath promised Strength for the day Rest for the labor. Light for the way Grace for the trials Help from above, Unfailing sympathy Undying love

And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes, and there shall be no more death, Neither sorrow nor crying neither shall there be any more pain.

"Neals of Bedford County, Virginia", Chester I. Miller, 1992:
John Miller was born in Greenbrier County, Va. His parents were Isaas and Catherine (Rife) Miller. When young he moved to Lawrence County, Ohio. It is believed that the family migrated westward to Vermillion County, Indiana after the oldest of his sisters married in Gallia County to John Neal. The family remained in Indiana long enough for two members to be born, a son and a daughter, before coming back to Ohio. Before 1870 John moved to Washington Twp., Lawrence Co., Ohio and farmed his own farm he had purchased and was there for the census of that year. Around 1872, John and Winifred sold their land in Washington Township, and with all the children that were alive, except sons Eli and Howard, moved to Pulaski County, Missouri. Their daughter Rachel, married to James Lanthorn, with their family and Isaac Newton (Newt) and his wife and child also went along. There were others also. They found land, they found work, but tragedy struck the Miller family. Four of their children died, one of them burned to death, and John himself took sick and lingered awhile before dying. The widow became so disheartened that she, with her unmarried children, her son Newt and family and the James Lanthorn family returned back to Ohio.

John married Winifred WRAY on 12 Jan 1837 in Lawrence County, Ohio. Winifred (daughter of Thomas A. WRAY and Rachel NEAL) was born on 28 Jan 1819 in Gallia County, Ohio or Peter's Mountain, Monroe County, Virginia; died on 02 Feb 1890 in Lawrence County, Ohio; was buried in Rehoboth Cemetery/Symmes Township, Lawrence County, Ohio.
