JOE MILBURN DIES SUDDENLY 

Cerebral Hemorrhage is Fatal 

  Joseph Christy Milburn, 26, died at 5:45 o'clock this morning at a local 
hospital of a cerebral hemorrhage.  He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph 
Sharp Milburn, of Vernal, Utah. 

  Milburn had been stricken this past summer with what hospital officials 
described as a broken blood vessel in his skull and, after spending several 
days under observation and treatment, was released. 

  He was playing softball with the Blair Motor Company in the City Softball 
League at that time.  Following the summer illness, however, he gave up 
softball and apparently was entirely recovered. 

  In addition to his parents he is survived by his widow, Mrs. Edith Baines 
Milburn; a son, Joseph Christy Milburn, Jr.; a daughter, Mary-Jo Milburn, 
all of Suffolk; a sister, Mrs. Georgia Milburn Couteure, of Vernal, and a 
grandfather, George Freestone of Vernal. 

  He was a member of the Latter Day Saints Church of Vernal and of the 
American Legion, Post 57.  Serving in the armed forces for seven and a half 
years, he received his discharge two years ago and since that time has made 
his home in Suffolk, where he was employed in the Men's Department of 
Leggett's Department Store. 

  The body was taken to the Baker Funeral Home pending funeral arrangements.
