Saturday at his home near Morales, Mr. Hermon O. “Tige” Milby, passed away from a heart attack. He had suffered from heart trouble for the past several months and while his death was a shock to relatives and friends it is not altogether unexpected. The funeral service was held at the Helvelka Funeral Home in Edna Sunday afternoon at 4:00 o’clock, being conducted by Rev. L. E. Barrett of the Edna Baptist Church. The remains were laid to rest in Old Enon Cemetery, a few miles south of Morales, where many of his relatives and friends are interred. Mr. Milby was born at the old Milby homestead just south of Morales, being the youngest son of the late Mr. and Mrs. Bob Milby, pioneer residents of Jackson County. His life was spent in this county and at the old home place. He was known to relatives and friends as “Tige” a nickname given him in babyhood by his father. He was a man who enjoyed his friends and he had many of them. He possessed a jovial disposition which meant that he got a lot out of life. He was an honest man and had the respect and good will of a great host of neighbors and friends. Mr. Milby was united in marriage to Miss Lovie Sandel May 5, 1925, at Huntsville, Texas. He is survived by his wife, two sisters, Mesdames Verdie Laughter of Matagorda and H. P. Stell of Edna; one half sister, Mrs. Joe Sheppard of Edna, and a half brother, Mr. Oliver Milby. To these the Herald extends sympathy in their time of sorrow Card of Thanks. We take this method of expressing our heartfelt thanks to friends and neighbors for the kindness shown H.O. Milby during his last illness and for the respect shown his memory and for the consideration and courtesies shown us after his passing. Mrs. H.O.
