MRS. WM. MCMILLAN DEAD
______

PASSED AWAY AT 5 O'CLOCK THIS MORNING AFTER A MONTH'S ILLNESS

Mrs. Mary M. McMillan, wife of Wm. McMillan, one of the best known citizens of Carthage, died at her home on South Main Street at 5 o'clock this morning after an illness of a months duration. She had been very low for several days and although her death was hourly expected, the shock to the family and to the community is great.

Mrs. McMillan was born in Washington county, Pennsylvania, in 1840. Shortly after graduating from Washington Female Seminary, she was married to Wm. McMillan, who survives her. In 1872 they came to Carthage to locate and since that time have made this city their home.

Mrs. McMillan was a woman who was devoted to her family, to who she was fondly attached She was quite prominent in literary and social circles, was widely known and universally loved, and a large circle of friends will mourn her untimely death. She became a member of the Presbyterian church in her early womanhood and has all her life been a devoted and earnest Christian, always taking a prominent part in charitable and church work.

During her three weeks of critical illness she was conscious at all time and realized more clearly than anyone that the end was near. She suffered but little. The undiscovered country had no terrors for her and she passed away calmly.

She leaves, besides her mother, husband and brothers, sisters and other relatives, four children:
Joe M.
John A.
Lawrence
Frank
