Ida May Millard was born in the Township of Linn, Wis., November 9, 1864. She was the daughter of John Morris and Hannah (Burdick) Millard. Her mother passed on when she was but a mere child and she was cared for by her grandparents, John and Betsey Millard. When about nineteen years of age she went to her home and cared for her father and brother. She performed this task with daughterly fidelity until the father was laid away. For the past twenty years she and her brother have lived in Walworth in the home from which she was borne to her last resting place. She leaves her brother John to face alone the years that will yet be allotted to him. Besides the brother she leaves a number of cousins.
Ida was of a shrinking disposition, preferring to remain in the quiet of the home to meeting with others in social activities. She has faithfully sought to fill her place in the home. She has long suffered from cancerous malady and passed from this life the early morning of April 13, 1928, being 63 years, 5 months, and 4 days of age. Farewell services were had from the home April 15, conducted by her pastor, and the body was laid in the family lot in the Cobblestone Cemetery. The pastor spoke from Paul's thought of life as shown in 2 Corinthians 5:1-10. E. A. W.
