HARTLEY E. McMILLAN

  At the close of a happily spent Fourth of July, sudden death overtook Hartley 
E. McMillan of St. Louis, Mo., who with his wife, had come to Meyersdale on 
Independence Day especially to see their grand-niece, the four-weeks old 
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Imler of 209 High Street.
  Mr. and Mrs. McMillan and Mrs. Imler's father, Earl Harmon, arrived at the 
Imler home about 7:30 the morning of the Fourth, after motoring here from St. 
Louis.
  They expected to stay for the weekend, and spent the day getting acquainted 
with the Imler family, including the baby and its grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. 
Lloyd Imler, and other Imler relatives, and in taking in the community Fourth of 
July festivities.  Mr. McMillan attended the baseball game in the forenoon and 
went with the others to the fairgrounds for the fireworks in the evening.  It 
was after returning from the Fair Grounds about 11:30 that he was taken with a 
heart attack and passed away about 12:30 a.m. July 5.
  Hartley E. McMillan was about 56 years of age.  He was district manager of the 
Calvert Distilling Co.  He is survived by his wife, Grace Harmon McMillan.  They 
had no children, but have always been especially attached to two nieces, one of 
whom is Mrs. Imler, the former Dorothy Harmon.
  The body was prepared for burial and removed to the McMillan home in West 
Overland, St. Louis, by W. C. Price & Son, morticians, where services and burial 
were conducted Wednesday.
  Mr. and Mrs. Richard Imler accompanied Mrs. McMillan and Mr. Harmon back to 
St. Louis, as did Mrs. Harmon, who had been spending some time with the Imlers 
and expected to return with the McMillans and her husband at the end of their 
weekend visit, which terminated so tragically.
