MRS . EMMA MILNES PASSED AWAY

Mrs. Emma J . Milnes, widow of the late Orlando Milnes, and one of Grayling's pioneers, passed away at the home of her son Roy Saturday forenoon following an illness that had lingered since Christinas. Infirmities of old age were the cause of death, and life just gradually ebbed away.

Emma J . Schaeffer was born in Freemont, Indiana, in 1856 and in 1879 was united in marriage to Mr . Milnes. The Milnes family came to Grayling forty-three years ago, but shortly after located at Frederic, Vanderbilt and Lewiston, where they operated hotels. Returning to Grayling in 1911 they took over the Burton Hotel and at that time that was Grayling's best hostelry. Mr. Milnes passed away while they were there and so the family a few years afterward gave up the business. From that time on Mrs. Milnes had made her home with her children. She was one of Grayling's most estimable citizens and her friendship was valued highly by her friends.

Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at the Milnes home with Rev. Edgar Florey of
Michelson Memorial church officiating. At the service Mrs, G. G. Clippert and her father Mr.
Edward Webb sang very beautifully, and interment was in Elmwood cemetery.

Surviving the deceased is a daughter and. two sons, Mrs. A. J. Mclnnis, Detroit, Eno K. Milnes, Chicago, and Roy, Grayling. Also six grandchildren and two great grandchildren. Also one sister Mrs. Murd McRae, Indianapolis. All have the sympathy of hosts of friends.
