Obituary of Millard W. Chrisman of Beatrice Nebraska
Millard W. Chrisman born October 27 1857 in Mount Carroll Illinois died January 27 in Beatrice Nebraska at age 71 after years of illness. He lived in Anita from 1881 working in real estate and insurance then moved to Beatrice and focused on poultry and Collies until six years ago. He married Viola Moore, sister of Hiram L. Moore of Fort Collins Colorado. Viola died in Beatrice eighteen years ago. He suffered a paralytic stroke six years ago, later recovering enough to move with a cane but never to town, and lost his sight later, reading became impossible. A Beatrice tribute praised his cheerfulness amid pain, noting his reading, sympathy and patient faith, and a minister likened his life to Ella Wheeler Wilcox's poem Faith.
