John was the first born of George and Mary Ann Milholland. He first saw the light of day on May 6, 1843 in Butler county, Ohio. These five brothers and two sisters survive him, John, David, Thomas, George, Edgar, Mrs. Charlotte Speich and Mrs. Anna Arnold. William died two years ago. His marriage with Helen M. Frisbie was solemnized May 4, 1871 at Corning, Iowa. One of the happy events of their married life was the celebration of their golden wedding anniversary by Inglewood friends. Soon after his marriage he was graduated from the Cincinnati medical college, and practiced medicine in Harrison, Ohio and Prescott, Iowa. He located permanently in Winterset in 1882 and continued to practice until 1919, when he removed to Inglewood, Calif., where he retired from active practice at the age of 75 years.

He is survived by Mrs. Milholland and the following children: Mrs. Ida B. Glenn of Inglewood, Mrs. Leigh Christensen of Iowa, and Miss Fredonia, living at home. For over half a century Dr. Milholland was a devoted communicant of the Baptist church. For many years he served in the capacity of deacon and was serving in that position in the Inglewood Baptist church at the time of his going, Sept. 28, 1921. He was a civil war veteran with a record of three and one-half years of service. A company of comrades of the G.A.R. conducted their impressive burial services at the last rites, which were conducted in the Inglewood Baptist church on Oct. 1 by the pastor, Rev. C. G. Roadarmel.
