DIED-

MILLARD-

In the City of Maquoketa, Iowa, on the 2nd day of August, 1877, Mrs. Elizabeth 
Hopkins Millard, aged 67 years.

Sister Millard was born on th 11th of March, 1810, near the City of Hamilton, 
Ontario. At the early age of 18 she embraced the religion of her parents, and 
joined the M. E. Church, of which she was a consistent and exemplary member 
during her life. She was married to I. K. Millard on the 8th day of April, 
1830, with whom she lived, a confiding and true companion until the day of her 
death.

She immigrated with her family to Iowa in 1850, and lived in the City of 
Maquoketa for the most of the time since. Her house was always a home for the 
ministry of her choice; her hand was ever ready to relieve the poor and needy.

She leaves a husband, five children, thirteen grandchildren, to feel the loss 
of a companion; and the kind and affectionate care of a mother.

Mrs. Millard was one of whom it could be truly said, she lived for her God, 
her church, her children, four of the latter having preceded her to the tomb.

Sister Millard lived to realize the answer to her prayer, that she might see 
her children comfortably settled in life and all members of some Christian 
Church, three of them having chosen the religion of their mother, one a 
Presbyterian and one a Congregationalist.-G.R.Manning
