Source: Saturday Evening Journal, August 22, 1885
David Milholland, one of the pioneers of this county died last Tuesday at the residence of T.N. Myers, in the 85th year of his age. He was born September 11, 1800, in Virginia. In 1824 he was married to Rebecca Hutton, and soon thereafter came to this state and located in Brookville and from thence to this city where he pursued his vocation, that of a blacksmith, for many years. From this city, he moved to Ripley township, near Alamo, where he lived until 1874 when he returned to this city upon the death of his second wife and made the home with his step-daughter, Mrs. T.N. Myers. His first wife died in 1838, and in 1840 he married Mrs. Sarah Larsh. Five children were born to him, three of whom died when young, and two daughters lived to maturity. He had four grandchildren. In 1832 he united with the Methodist Church and lived the life of a Christian until his death, though for several years he has been unable to attend public services on account of deafness. He however took a great interest in the church and was a constant and close reader of the *Western Christian Advocate* and other religious literature. To him the church was really and truly a "rule and guide of faith," and a refuge secured and safe from the storm of his life.
