The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa
Thursday, May 30, 1907

JOSEPHINE MILLAN, fifth daughter of HENRY and CAROLINE MILLAN, was born in
Fairfax County, Virginia, near the District of Columbia, and died at her
home in Chariton Sunday after a short illness with paralysis. In early
childhood she moved with her parents to Palmyra, Mo., where she received her
education. After the civil war the family came to Chariton, where she has
since resided.

JOSEPHINE was widely known, having been in the millinery business in this
city for twenty-five years, retiring from business a few years since. She
was a member of the Episcopal Church and a true Christian woman. By her
many deeds of kindness and gentle manner she had endeared herself to a large
circle of friends, by whom she will be sadly missed. She leaves three
sisters, MRS. SUSANNA CUSTER, MISS MAGGIE MILLAN and MRS. POCAHONTAS HOOPER,
and one brother, HENRY F. MILLAN, to mourn the loss of a loved and loving
sister.

Funeral services, conducted by Rev. Hakes, of the Episcopal Church, and Rev.
Evans of the Methodist Church, were held at the home on, Tuesday afternoon,
at 2:00 o'clock, and the remains laid to rest in the Chariton Cemetery. The
sympathy of the community is extended to the bereaved ones.
