Carlinville Democrat, March 8, 1894
Died - At his residence in the city, Monday, March 5th, Milford E. Davenport, 
aged 69 years.  Funeral services at the residence, Tuesday afternoon at 2 
o'clock.  Interment at Charity cemetery, seven miles northwest of this city.  
Again the angel of death has visited in our midst, this time taking one of our 
old settlers and citizens Milford Davenport.  Last spring a cancer on his face, 
which grew with increasing rapidity, finishing its awful work, March 5, 1894.  
Mr. Davenport came from Kentucky to Morgan County, Ill. in 1849; a few years 
later came to Macoupin, living in this county ever since.  He was married to 
Ellen Roach in 1856.  Eleven children are the fruits of this union.  Three 
children died in infancy (2 girls and a boy), and one grown son some 14 years 
ago, thus leaving seven grown sons with the widowed mother to mourn the loss of 
this husband and father.  He was a soldier in both the Mexican and Civil wars; 
a follower of Christ for some 45 years.
