photos of Millard's 1st wife Dicy Combs
Millard got into a fight
at the the Lincoln Co., WV polling place with a 38 year old
man named Baby Face something. Millard was evidently very opinionated
and very good at holding a grudge for decades. He took his cane,
hit this man over the head (breaking the cane in
three places) and turned, took two steps, and fell dead on 2 Nov
1952. According to his birthdate in the 1900 census, he was 26,
born Dec 1873; so he died age 78, nearly 79 years old. In 1920
he was said to be 50. Millard was illiterate.
