POSTMASTER MlLLHAM CALLED

Passes Quietly to Rest at Hot Springs,
Arkansas on March l4th.
Oakes people were surprised and
shocked Monday morning to learn
from Glendale of the death of T. w.
Millham. A telegram from Hot
Springs, Arkansas, announced that
he had expired at $3.50 o'clock that
morning. Mr.. Mlllhams has been
suffering untold agony the past few
years, on account of a blood disease.
from which he lost nearly all of his
fingers. Finding the cold weather
severe on his ailment he and his wife
sought warmer cline for the winter
They settled down at Ocean Springs,
Mississippi, but complications of
rheumatism and diabetes added to
the sick mans misery and he de-
cided to move to Hot Springs.
Thomas w. Millham was one of the
pioneers of Dickey county, coming
here from New York state in 1883.
He first settled in Hudson township,
where he owned a large farm, and
where he resided until 1883, when
he moved to Ellendale upon his
election as county treasurer. This
Office of trust he held for two terms,
and in 1898, at the close of an excel
lent public service, he was elected
man sger of the Glendale Milling
Company. The mill prospered under
his management, and it was due
mainly to his hustling business abil-
ity that the Glendale mill gained
such an enviable reputation for its
fine brands of flour. Two years ago
he was made postmaster of Ellendale,
and was away on leave of absence
when death overlook him.
OF good business tact, of sound
judgment. of cheerful disposition, he
was man of many friends. His
home life was exemplary and pattern
which we all might follow with better
ment to ourselves and those about us.
His devotion to the church was con-
slant, and the Presbyterian church of
Ellendale lost a faithful supporter
when he was called home. In the
choir, at festivals, at funerals, his
voice was always heard. He loved
music, and was happy in it's realm.
But now the same voices that so often
mingled with his, are today offering
requiems over his silent remains.
The quiet home, with the sorrowing
family, will miss him; the church, to
which he has been so loyal, will miss
him; the Sabbath School, over which
he has watched for so many years,
will miss him; but he leaves behind
the sh lining example, which if followed
will make all happier and better. He
made much of little children, and all
who had the privilege of knowing him
loved and respected him.
The remains arrived in Ellendale
yeste rday and the funeral took place
in the afternoon. Deceased was in
the sixty-second year of his life.
