In a letter to the Review, Joseph Bates commented on visiting William Miller’s grave: “His white marble monument stands but a short distance from the highway, about five feet high, presenting to the traveler a front nearly two feet wide, in the center of which, about four feet from the ground, is an open book very neatly chiseled out of the marble block.  On the right leaf, in large black letters, is engraven the following scripture: ‘And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the Sanctuary be cleansed.’ Dan.viii,14.” (Review & Herald, February 3, 1853)
