Mr. Hiram E. McMilland of the north edge of N. Wilkesboro, died at his home last Friday afternoon. Mr. McMilland suffered a stroke of paralysis some time before.
He was a retired merchant and moved to North Wilkesboro from Alleghany county 8 miles beyond Cranberry church 12 or 14 years ago. He is survived by his wife and was 63.
Undertaker Turner and young Mr. Smathers conveyed his body Saturday to Alleghany for burial at New Hope church beyond Laural Springs, reaching there about 10 o’clock that night and returning the next day.
He was a member of the Baptist faith.
