Millison, for many years with the Signal Corps, was held at 2:30! o'clock this afternoon in the Chap- el of the C. W. Carter Mortuary. The Rev. Henry R. Cross delivered the eulogy for the well-loved resi- dent, who passed away at St. Ann’s Hospital on Sunday after-; noon. During the services several se- lections were given by a male‘ quartet. Indication of the high place Mr. Millison held in the community was evidenced by the number and beauty of the floral offerings sent by the many friends he had made | during his years of residence here. In addition to the members of | the Blue Lodge and Scotfish Rite, to both of which Masonic Orders Mr. Millison belonged, and all of the personnel of the United States Signal Corps office, except those] who had to remain on duty, the| services were aitended by many friends, who regret the loss of one as kindly and courteous as the | |los left the university. ned its hopes for stability in Cuba, | has been fighting his country's battles ever since he interrupted | in the war for his studies lu serve ‘free Cuba. | His selection as President is the | culmination of nearly a decade’s opposition to former President Ger- | ardo Machado, who, largely through | the efforts of Mendicta and his| cartisans, was thrown out of of- ice and the country last summer Dr. Mendieta fought Machado's | lictatorship from Washington, New York and Miami before his plans | tinally carried. | The new Pres ian, statesman ary s »gist.
