Death of Mrs. James Milliard
When relatives found Mrs. James Millard dead in her bed at her home on Rutherfordton route 1, she had her Bible by her side. She had been ill for some time, but was not thought to be serious. She was a good woman and will be sadly missed in the community. The burial took place at Pleasant Hill.
[The paper spelled her last name Milliard in the headline and Millard in the article. I don’t know which is correct.]
