McMILLIAN, Pheroby Caroline BURGES 1846 - 1925

Clinton Missouri 1925 - Many hearts were made sad Sunday when they were told 
that Mrs. Jacob McMillian had passed away at 7:30 o'clock Saturday night at her 
home on West Jefferson street. She was seriously ill for about nine weeks, and 
the fatal malady being complications of advanced age and cold. Even though 
tender hands of loved ones did everything possible to keep her with them, her 
frail body was too weak to combat the disease. Pheroby Caroline Burges was born 
May 4th, 1846, being 78 years, 10 months and 3 days old. She was a member of a 
family of eight, and was the last one to pass on from this life. She was married 
to Jacob McMillian at Tuscumbia, Mo., Feb. 10, 1867. To this union ten children 
were born, eight of whom are still living; also 36 grandchildren and 14 great-
grandchildren. The husband and two children have passed on, the father, January 
28, 1917; Alfred, the oldest son, August 7th, 1890. Stella McMillian Dennis, Oct 
26, 1909. The remaining eight children to mourn her death are: Mrs. Mary McCrary, 
Kansas City, Mo.; J. McMillian, Avalon, Colo.; Harry McMillian, Kansas City, Mo.; 
Mrs. Cora Warner, Urich, Mo.; the following of Clinton: Barney, Cleveland, Thurman 
and Francis. Mrs. McMillian with her husband, Jacob McMillian, came to Henry 
county in 1874. They were among the pioneer people in the western part of the 
county. She became a member of the Hopewell church in the early days and lived 
to make her life count for her many friends, who deeply sympathize with the 
bereaved ones in this dark hour of sorrow. May the Heavenly Father comfort them 
and may it be a consolation to them to know that she is now free from all pain 
and sorrow from this world. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Falls, a 
prayer at the home for friends and neighbors, and a sermon at Hopewell where the 
body was tenderly laid to rest by the side of her husband. All the children were 
with her except James, of Colo., who couldn't come on account of sickness. 
Francis and wife, who made their home with her were always at her bedside and 
Mrs. Warner had been with her the last week. Mrs. McCrary and Harry came on the 
Friday before, the other three sons were living here.
