OBITUARY.
The people of Cresco were inexpressibly shocked Sunday morning to learn that Mrs. Charles T. Millard had passed away early that morning at about the turn of the day. But few knew that she was ill and she had not been compelled to take to her bed until Wednesday last but the debility following a severe attack of typhoid fever about a year ago, left her system an easy and quick prey to the ravages of the disease, la grippe, which claimed her in death.
Mary Estella Morgan, daughter of Emma and Willard Morgan was born in Richmond, Walworth county, Wis., Jan 22, 1870. At the age of five, she moved with her parents to Cresco, Iowa, where she grew to womanhood. At the age of 17 she graduated from the Cresco high School, after which she pursued a course in the business college of the U. I. U. at Fayette, Ia.
August, 1895, she was united in marriage to Charles T. Millard. Four children came to bless the home, two sons and two daughters. The little girls are with their mother. Manley, aged 7 and Walter, 19 months of age, are left to comfort the broken heart of the father. At the age of twelve the deceased united with the M. E. church during the pastorate of Rev. Geo. W. Ballou, and has always been {l}oyal to her church and faithful in life. Besides the stricken husband and motherless children she leaves a mother, father and one brother, Herbert E. Morgan.
The funeral was held this morning at 10 o’clock, at the M. E. church, her pastor, Rev. John Gammons, officiating. The interment was in Oak Lawn cemetery. The church was completely filled with sympathizing friends, neighbors and acquaintances, people who had known and loved her during her whole lifetime, and who wished so pay this last tribute to the memory of one whose life had been filled with every virtue, pure and blameless.
