James H. Milling, after a brief and painful illness, died
at his residence
opposite Monroe on the first instant with cerebro spinal meningitis.
He was
in his 49th year and apparently in the full vigor of splendid
manhood. He
was a native of Ouachita parish and did her honor by his business
capacity,
his untiring energy, and his exemplary habits. The parish honored
him with
the office of Sheriff and Clerk of the District Court. He acquitted
himself
with credit in both. For the past few years he has been the general
freight
agent of the Railroad Company, to which was added the duty of
book-keeper in
the office. He was a superior scribe, and painstaking and accurate
in
figures. He never tired of hard work and never cared for anybody
else's
business. Milling's duty was Milling's work and he performed
it with al the
energy and skill within him. He was a man of family and leaves
a wife and
five children. From his labor he has educated the older children
and
accumulated property sufficient to make them all comfortable.
He was an
estimable citizen and a worthy brother. He has gone the way of
earth-too
early, according to man's idea, but in answer to a call that could
not be
delayed.
