From Hamburg Reporter, August 1915

On last Thursday morning occurred the death of Mrs Nancy Jane McMillen, at the home of her daughter, Mrs W.D. Fletcher. She had reached the advanced age of 92 years, 1 month and 13 days. She was born in Ireland, coming to this country at the age of 16. She lived for a time in the east and then moved to eastern Iowa, and for the past fifty years had made her home about Hamburg. Mrs McMillen knew well the hardships of the early pioneer, and in later years enjoyed telling of the experiences on the plains of Iowa.

Her husband, James McMillen, passed away some five years ago. She leaves seven children: Mrs Martha Clift and Mrs Ed Burkhimer of Shenandoah; George McMillen of Shelby, Neb., Mrs Flora Shuey, Mrs Sarah Douglas, Sam McMillen and Mrs Nan Fletcher of this place. The funeral services were held at Mt Olive Sunday morning, conducted by Rev Douglas of Farragut.
