Murray, assisted by Rev. J. M. Mc Elroy and T. D. Foster. The choir of the East End Presbyterian church furnished the music. A large number of the acquaintances of the deceased were present, and beautiful floral of ferings -testified the esteem in which she was held in this city. The pall bearers were W.-'B. Ramsell, Zell Zim merman M.1 Moffit, M, T. McClelland, A. Lewis, T._ Rimmer. The remains were interred in the Ottumwa ceme tery. Mrs. McMillan's loss will be felt by a very large circle of friends in Ottum was as for six years her husband was the pastor of the East End Presbyte rian church and she was a very active helper to hini in the work there. She was very sympathetic and earnest aud reatly endeared herself to oil the peo ple of the East End and it was with great regret they saw her leave, some two years ago when her husband wa9 called to the church in Albion, Iowa. There, as here, j*iie was quite a leader in the Christian work and had just re cently 'been re-elected president of the Women's Missionary society of the Presbytery in which she was located. One month ago she came down with her husband to be present at the lay ing of the corner stone of the new East End Presbyterian church. She had not been well for some time be fore coming and after the ceremony she remained for awhile a guest in the home of Mrs. T. D. Foster. She hoped that the rest and the change might restore her 'health again but after a week or two more alarming symptoms began to develop and her doctors de cided that she was suffering from can cer of the liver and was in a very crit ical condition. Her husband and son Wallace were summoned over a week ago and came to her side, but she lin gered until last Thursday morning at 8:15 o'clock, when she passed quietly away to her reward. She was con scious and recognized her friends up to the night before her death, though too weak to be a'ble to talk with them much. All her family were with her at the time of her death, including her little daughter and her son, Rev. D. Wallace McMillan, and his wife, of Des Moines. She was laid to rest in the Ottumwa cemetery from the East End chapel, this (Friday) afternoon, at 1:80 o'clock. Mrs. McMillan was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. Brown, and one of ten children. She was born in Indiana, Dec. 25, 1850. When quite young the family moved to a farm near Monmouth, 111. She very early show ed a religious disposition, and at the age of 13 she united with the First Presbyterian church of Monmouth of which Rev. Dr. Matthews was pastor. In school she was a very proficient student and by her 17th year had ad vanced as far as the junior class in Monmouth College. On March :*1, 18G8, she was united In marriage to the Rev. Andrew McMil lan and they immediately entered into the active work of the Christian min istry in Pennsylvania. The next year they removed to Living Lake in Wash ington county, Iowa, where their one son David Wallace McMillan was born He, with her hushaud and little adopt ed daughter survive to mourn her loss, Mrs. McMillan was a woman of sub lime faith and trust in God which was specially triumphant at the last. Hers was a faith that never wavered and she did not, like so many Christians, need to have her faith bolstered up by en couragements aud tests, but having trusted once she trusted always, and thl* was the secret of the courage that F°r rich colored French style plaids, full 36 inches wide, just the thing for combination 7 Cp Buys 50 inch camel hair plaids with the richest and newe st combina tion of colors. ....

Her own remarkable gentleness and kindness made it a special pleasure to the friends around her to do every thing they could for her comfort and they really felt it to be more of a pri ilegc than a task. She was always cheerful even when great weariness would at times force an involuntary groan or sigh, and even when too weak to speak she would answer anything that was said to her by a nod and a smile. She never showed any impa tience and while not calling for death yet she was cheerfully ready to go whenever -her Savior should call her. For three days she realized that death was upon her and she seemed to be surrounded almost with a sacred at mosphere.
