Ill health in the family caused them to remove to Billings, Montana, where they resided 10 years.

Mr. Milhiser died March 9, 1923; since then Mrs. Milhiser has lived for the most part with her daughter here.

Surviving are a son and two daughters: Charles S. Milhiser, Sidney, Montana, Mrs. Fisher, of Waterloo, and Mrs. Pearl Wilson, Billings, Montana.

A daughter died in infancy, and a brother died several years ago.
