Surnames: McAvoy, McMillian Classification: Obituary Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/5d.2ADI/3677 Message Board Post: The Payette Independent Payette, Idaho Thursday, November 14, 1929 MRS. McAVOY DIES SUDDENLY Mrs. Mary Ann McAvoy, mother of Mrs. J. A. McMillian, passed away at the Brown hospital Friday, November 8, after an illness of one day. Mrs. McAvoy had made her home with her daughter, Mrs. J. A. McMillan, for the past year and a half and being somewhat frail had gone to stay with Mrs. Brown during the recent illness of Mrs. McMillan. On Thursday last she complained of not feeling well, but there was no evidence of dangerous illness when she retired for the night. However, shortly after midnight she was taken worse and Mr. and Mrs. McMillan were summoned. Every possible effort was made to save her, but she gradually grew worse and passed away during the next day. Mrs. McAvoy was born March 25, 1850 and was 78 years, 7 months and 13 days old at the time of her death. She was born in Ontario, Canada. Her remains were taken back to her former home in this country, Sault St. Marie, Michigan for burial. Mr. and Mrs. McMillan left with the body Saturday morning and funeral services were to be held there today. Mrs. McMillan, who was just recovering from a severe illness, was almost prostrate and she certainly has the sympathy of everyone in her sad bereavement.
