The Cairo Messenger, April 18, 1919
Mrs. W. J. McMillian Died Last Friday Night

Very sad is the news of the death of Mrs. William McMillian at her home about 5 
miles east of Cairo on last Friday night about 9 o'clock.

About four o'clock in the afternoon, she suffered a severe stroke of paralysis 
and died within five hours after she was stricken.  She was 73 years of age and 
was apparently in good health until the night previous to being stricken.

Mrs. McMillian suffered a stroke of paralysis about five years ago, but had 
nearly recovered from this as it was a great deal less severe than the last.

She joined the Bold Springs Methodist church when it was first founded about 
sixty years ago.  At that time she was only twelve years of age.

Mrs. McMillian was a favorite among her acquaintances and she was always 
faithful to her trusts.  She was a noble and loyal Christian woman and always 
took an interest in church affairs.

The funeral exercises were held at Bold Springs Methodist church on Sunday 
afternoon, Rev. W. C. Jones conducting the exercises.  Interment followed in 
the church cemetery.    

Among the survivors besides Mr. McMillian are nine children, all of whom were 
present when she died.  One brother and two sisters also survive.  They are 
Mrs. Eva Dixon of Plant City, Fla., Mrs. Sallie Asbell of Plant City, Fla., and 
Mr. James McCord of Tallahassee, Fla.
