Payette Enterprise
January 04, 1917
Milly May Van Etten was born in Bayfield, Colorado, September 18, 1893 and died at her father's home in Malheur county, Oregon, December 26, 1916. She united with the church in 1908; was married to Walter C. Huff March 12, 1913. She leaves a husband and a daughter 2 years old, a father, mother, three sisters, two brothers, and a host of friends. Mrs. Huff's death was not a surprise to the family, but there is a vacant chair, a sorrow that always comes at one's going away, that the world can never satisfy. She made a long, hard fight against the monster death, and throughout her sickness showed the fortitude and faith of a true Christian, and her testimony was, as one of old, "For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain." The family have the sympathy of the entire community. The funeral services were conducted from the Brethren church at 2 p.m., Thursday, Dec. 28th. A large number of friends were in attendance. Rev. N. H. Farnham spoke from James 4:14. Interment was made in Riverside Cemetery.
