The Kinsley Mercury, 21 Aug 1913, Thu, Page 4Milian Owen Bacheller was born in McDonough, Chenango Co., New York, on March 16, 1865. When thirteen years of age he came with his parents to central Kansas and continued in this state the rest of his life. He early displayed intellectual tendencies and virtually spent his life either studying or teaching. In 1892, he was married at Alden, Kansas, to Miss Deema Griffee, who later presented him with one son, Lindley. He died at Topeka, Kansas, August 15, 1913, at the age of 48 years, 4 months, 29 days. Besides his wife and son his aged parents, residents of Kansas City, and two sisters and two brothers survive him.Mr. Bacheller was a man whose character qualities are best appreciated in the circle of intimate friends. He was a high-minded, patriotic citizen whose influence was always on the right side. He was a man of thorough education and fine intellectual attainments and for two years was principal of the north side school, which position he was forced to resign on account of failing eyesight. Later he served the city in the capacity of treasurer with the utmost fidelity. He was singularly faithful, even to the degree of using his utmost efforts to fulfill the duties of a church officer; he was loyal to his friends to his church and to his pastor, ever ready with counsel and service to the best of his ability; he was a man who had the courage of his convictions, and the patience and steadfastness to cling to them in the vicissitudes of life, most of which he spent serving.In a time of adversity, a cheerful hope marked his conversation and conduct. In early boyhood, he united with the Congregational church and continued in its faith and fellowship until his death. The funeral was conducted by his pastor, Rev. H.E. Heyse, at Alden, Kansas, the old family home, on Sunday afternoon, August 17 and was attended by a large gathering of people, of whom very many had been his pupils. Interment was in the cemetery at Sterling, Kansas.
