Mrs. Millian Dead

Mrs. Eva Millian, wife of J.A. Millian, died at the residence of her son-in law. B. E. Smith of this city on April 13th of Spinal Meningitis. Her remains were interred in the I. O.O.F cemetery the following day. Services were conducted at the Christian church, by Rev. McMahan, Pastor.
A husband and eight children survive the mother. Six of the children were present at her death; the other two reside in Colorado. Mrs. Millian was born in Pennsylvania in 1847; she was fifty-one years old and was a member of the Christian church. She was a good Christian woman and highly respected, living a life worthy of limitation. No doubt but that motto, “What is home without a mother” will be significant and fully realized by the family who have just been bereft of a loving mothers tenders words of cheer, the purest and holiest that falls from mortal lips. The Sun extends to the father and children sincere sympathy.
