DEATH'S SLEEP

I. C. Milbourn Peacefully Passes From Life.

A PIONEER STATIONER.

Widely Known in Columbiana, Carroll and Stark Counties -- Esteemed by All and a Favorite Among Children.

I. C. Milbourn, the pioneer stationery dealer, passed peacefully from earth at 6:_0 Thursday evening at his residence on Columbia street. He had been in feeble health for a number of years but was able to be about upon the streets until very recently.

Some time ago he was afflicted with an ailment of a paralytic nature and on Decoration Day he suffered a severe stroke which deprived him of the power to swallow. He was conscious until within a few moments of the end and expressed himself as prepared to go.

The remains will be taken to Augusta where the funeral will be in the Disciple church at noon next Sunday.

Deceased was widely known throughout this section. He was a genial, liberal and public spirited man and was especially noted for his kindness to children. He seemed to know almost every little boy or girl in the city and always had a greeting or happy word for each. His death will be deeply lamented and his familiar and pleasant face will be missed by all.

Isaac Craig Milbourn was born November 19, 1828, in Hanoverton, his parents being Samuel Milbourn and Jane Craig Milbourn, pioneer Virginians. Isaac was the youngest of eight children. He remained on the farm upon which he was born until he had reached the age of eighteen.

He then learned the carpenter's trade and removed to Augusta, where in March of 1853 he was married to Miss Elizabeth Manfull who survives him. Their only child, a daughter Cora, died many years ago, at the age of four. Mr. Milbourn was engaged at carpentering until 1864. The next year he started a hardware store at Waynesburg. In 1867 he went into the dry goods business. Two years later he sold out and settled in Alliance.

It was here that he entered into a contract to grade the old Pittsburg, Baltimore & Ohio railroad from Connellsville to Cumberland. Having successfully performed this great piece of work he returned to Alliance in 1870 and accepted a position as clerk in the stationery store of David G. Hester, which later became the property of the late C. C. Manfull.

Four years later, in 1874, having thoroughly acquainted himself with the details of the stationery business, he purchased the entire establishment, which, at the time, was located in the block now occupied by the McDonald & Hunter boot and shoe house. From there he went to the room now containing the Waltz & Kinsey boot and shoe establishment. After being there many years, the veteran stationer removed his store into the McCandless block.

Owing to the infirmities of age, his family urged him to retire from active work and finally, on the first day of last April, he sold his entire business interests to John E. Amdrup.

Funeral services will be held at the house at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, and the remains will be taken to Augusta for interment on Sunday morning.
