| MILLIMAN, WILLIAM W.: William
Wesley Milliman, son of William and Martha Milliman, was born in Noble
township, Branch Co., Michigan, Sept. 3, 1848, and passed away at the home
of John Carter, in Bronson, Dec. 23, 1922, being 74 years, 3 months and 20
days old. He was the youngest of a family of nine children and all of his
eight brothers and sisters had preceded him in death. Feb. 23, 1863, he
enlisted in the 5th Michigan Calvary, Co. M, for the duration of the war and
served until the close. In the autumn of 1870, he was united in marriage to
Miss Susan Keller and to this union ten children were born, of whom, six
survive: Lyman of Sturgis; Melvin, residence unknown, Nelson, of
Schoolcraft; Mrs. Jessie Hill of Hazel, Mont; Mrs. Cora Armstrong of Burr
Oak; and Lawrence of Bronson. He also leaves 12 grandchildren and five
great-grandchildren, besides a host of other relatives and friends. His

in Branch Co., all but 11 years which were spent in Isabella and Mecosta
counties, and six month at the Soldiers' Home in Grand Rapids. Practically
his entire life was spent in farming, at which occupation he enjoyed
something more than the average degree of success. He was a member of the
Bronson Post G.A.R., and will be greatly missed, not only by his children,
but his comrades and many friends. Funeral Services were held at the Baptist
church in Bronson, Wednesday afternoon, Dec. 27. He was laid to rest beside
his wife in the Dutch Settlement Cemetery. (Source: Scott Lockhart,
