CAPT. A. J. MILLARD IS DEAD

The Pioneer Passed Away at an Early Hour Today

The Funeral to be Held Saturday in Charge of the

Masons – Sketch of His Life and Military Services

Captain A. J. Millard died at his home, corner of Ninth and Douglass streets at 3:20 this morning, aged 60 years. He will be buried Saturday at 2 p. m. from his home, the services being conducted by Rev. H. D. Jenkins, under the auspices of the Masonic order.

Captain Millard was one of the pioneers of Sioux City, who for the last few years have been passing away so fast. He had lived here for nearly forty years, and was one of the best known men in the city and county, among the old-times especially. He was also one of the most popular of the elder residents, and his death will be sincerely mourned by scores of friends who have known him as a citizen of Sioux City for more than a generation.

Captain Millard’s death was not entirely unexpected, as he had been in failing health for some time. His death was caused, according to his physician, by heart trouble, resulting from degeneration of the nerves of the heart. For several weeks he had had trouble with his right leg on account of impeded circulation and had been able to get about only by the use of crutches. For the last few days before his death, however, he had apparently been getting better and his death was rather sudden.
