Millie J. Peterson died on the morning of the 20th from a complication of diseases at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Byrd Still, at the age of seventy nine years. Aunt Millie had been a great sufferer for years but patiently waited the end. Her husband, Samuel Peterson, died in 1864, leaving her with eight children to battle with the world. She was the mother of fifteen children, three of whom are still living. She was a kind mother, a good neighbor and a strict member of the Old School Baptist Church. Her funeral took place Tuesday at the Peterson Cemetery by Rev. J. J. Canine. -s
