R. MILLARD FAGAN

   R. Millard Fagan, a native of Franklin and former business man of this town, 
died in Newport news Monday, October 21, of pneumonia super induced by 
influenza, his body being brought here for burial the following day and 
interment taking place in Poplar Spring cemetery at 11 o'clock a.m.  The burial 
services were conducted by Rev. J.L. McCutcheon of the Baptist church, assisted 
by Rev. R.M. Chandler of the Methodist church, and the pallbearers were L.B. 
Norfleet, J.O. Haslett, J.C. Beale, Geo. R. Hayes, S.R. Nicholson, E.C. Beale, 
W.H. Norfleet and W.T. Pace.

   Millard Fagan was the son of the late R.S. Fagan and Mrs. Margaret Davis 
Fagan, his father being a prominent merchant of Franklin for many years.  The 
deceased conducted a successful grocery business here for several years in 
partnership with his father, leaving Franklin a few years ago to reside in 
Norfolk.  At the time of his death he was in the wholesale tobacco business in 
Newport News where he was doing exceedingly well. He was a good citizen and a 
man of generous impulses and numbered many warm friends in the town of his 
birth.

   He is survived by his wife, who was Miss Carrie Davis of Buckingham County, 
a sister of Mrs. J.A. Weede of Franklin and by a daughter, little Katherine 
Davis.  Mr. Fagan's death, similar to so many others during the influenza 
scourge, was made unusually pathetic by the fact that both his wife and 
daughter are quite ill with the same malady and were unable to minister to him 
during his last illness or to be present at his burial.  He also leaves three 
sisters, Mr. A.D. Smithwick of Windsor, N.C., Mrs. John Brinkley of Georgetown, 
S.C., and Mrs. Geo. H. Rogers of Boardman, N.C.; two brothers, R.S. Fagan, Jr., 
of Denver, Colorado, and Corporal James Vernon Fagan, U.S.A., now in France; a 
step-mother, Mrs. Lee Oliver Fagan, and a half-brother, Oliver Fagan.
