An Invalid All His Life

The death of Frank Millard occurred at the home of his sister, Mrs. Al Bath on Sharon street, Shelby. The deceased has been an invalid all his life, having been paralyzed since birth. He never walked and never was able to sit up and still with this affliction he was cheerful and never complained of his lot although he stated that life had been a long journey for him. He was aged 52 years and was born in Crawford county near Auburn Center. All his life he has lived with his sister, Mrs. Al Bath, who was assisted by another sister, Miss Rebecca Millard, in caring for their invalid brother.
