The following edited information was found in the Civil War section of the main library in Omaha, Nebraska. The source of the article is The Fremont Tribune of 6 September 1910, under the banner OLD SOLDIER IS LAID TO REST IN RIDGE CEMETERY. Ridge Cemetery is located in North Bend Township near Fremont, Nebraska. Because the date of the veteran's death is given as 16 February 1895 it is assumed the newspaper article must be from a collection.
William W. Millard, veteran of the Civil War was laid to rest yesterday afternoon, services being conducted according to the ritual of the G.A.R.. The deceased had lived for the past eight years at North Bend, and a number of old soldiers came down from there to attend the funeral. They were W. W. Hall, J. J. Kelser, John Ross, John Murrell, Mr. Mozier, A. K. Strayer, M. C. Mitchel and Joseph Hanks.
William W. Millard, was born in 1826 in Birch County, Pennsylvania. After he mustered out he moved to Nebraska and settled near the Republican River where he lost everything during the drought. In 1887 he moved to North Bend, Nebraska. For three weeks before his death, the G.A.R. at North Bend made efforts to get him admitted to a sanitarium at Hot Springs, South Dakota. Finally at the advice of the physician who said he must be moved from North Bend, he was brought to the Fremont Hospital on Saturday afternoon. His death followed in a few hours. Later the long awaited papers admitting him to the sanitarium came, but too late. The departed veteran is survived by his wife and five children.
