"The people of Liberty and surrounding community were greatly shocked Wednesday, June 29, when the news was spread that Mr. George Milne, who runs Mr. H.C. Shirley's dairy, was found dead in the dairy at 6 o'clock by Mr. Shirley. He had only left the house about 20 minutes before 6 o'clock in his usual glee, feeling fine. Medical aid was summoned and friends and loved ones did all they could but nothing would bring him back to life.
The verdict of the coroners' jury at inquest was the he came to his death from natural causes.
The funeral services were held at his late residence June 30th at 11 o'clock a.m., being conducted by his pastor, Rev. H.A. Knox and his remains were laid to rest in the West View cemetery at Liberty.

In February, 1905, he sailed with his wife and little daughter for U.S.A. and landed in the same month. He first settled in Hendersonville, NC and lived at various places in North Carolina for 15 years, following the dairy business. January 1, 1920 he came to Liberty, SC, to take charge of Mr. Shirley's dairy and had charge of it from that time until his death.
At the age of 18 he united with the Presbyterian church of which he remained a consistent member. September 30, 1900, he was happliy married to Miss Helen Pirie and to them was born one daughter, Nellie Mae, to cheer and brighten their home, and his greatest delight was to do something for his only child.
