Millard Small, farmer, P. O. Verona. The subject of this sketch, Mr. Millard 
Small, is a native of Somerset county, Me., born July 31, 1850, and came to 
Grundy County, Ill., when four years old. He is the fifth of a family of six 
children of Harris and Sophrona Small; was educated in Grundy County, and 
raised on the farm. He was married, July 4, 1875, to Miss Imogene Ward, 
daughter of Samuel and Harriet Ward, born on the farm now occupied by Mr. 
Small, in Mazon Township, March 3, 1852. They have two sons - George H., born 
March 19, 1876; Bryon C., October 24, 1880. They own a farm of 113 acres in 
Section 30 of Mazon Township, valued at $50 per acre. Mrs. Small's parents 
came to Grundy County in the spring of 1849, and settled in Mazon Township, 
where they lived, until the time of their death. Her father, Samuel Ward, was 
born in July, 1825; died in Mazon Township June 17, 1881, from injuries 
received on the railroad near his home. He was struck by the engine while 
attempting to reach a crossing, seeming not to realize the near approach of 
the train from the fact of his being somewhat deaf and lame. Harriet Ward, 
mother of Mrs. Small, died in this county on the 27th of August, 1881, after 
suffering as an invalid for fourteen years.
