Mrs. Roswell Stephens received word Friday of the death of her sister, Mrs. Susan Joy Millburn, aged 72 years, at her home at Holstein, Iowa. She passed away Wednesday, January 9. She had been in poor health for some time.

Susan Joy was born in Port Louisa township January 7, 1863, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. E. R. Joy. When she was a small child her parents moved to a farm near the Louisa county poor farm, and she grew to womanhood there.

Fifty-seven years ago the family moved to Wapello. A short time later, she married Elwood Millburn, a blacksmith, and to this union the following children were born, Joe Millburn of Des Moines, John Millburn of Moravia, Ed Millburn of LeMars, Mrs. Mabel Crouch of Rockwell City and Mrs. Susan Brownlee of Oklahoma. Mrs. Roswell Stephens is the only surviving member of the Joy family.

Funeral services were held at Holstein Friday afternoon.
