Obituary of Hypisia Ann Pickens (Collier) Milligan

MILLIGAN.--Died, at Choccolocco, Ala., September 27, 1904, Mrs. H. A. Milligan, wife of Rev. M. G. Milligan (nee Pickins). The saddest home-coming of my life. It was at Huntsville when she went to her home in heaven. We had been married nearly forty-nine years. In my active work in the ministry she was in perfect accord; a helpmeet in deed and in truth, so devoted to her husband and his life work. She directed the farm before the war between the states, and trained the children in the home in my absence. She loved the Cumberland Presbyterian Church and devoted seventy-one years of her life toiling and praying for its advancement. She manifested great interest in all the enterprises of her church--missions, church extension and the education of the rising ministry. She loved so much the study of the Bible with me. She loved the prayer meeting and the Sabbath school, and was regular nearly to the very last in the Bible class. With what interest she watched the erection of our new church at this place, and just eight days before she left us she heard me preach the last sermon she ever heard and witnessed the reception of two members into the church--one a granddaughter, by experience, the other by letter. The tenement she so suddenly left to our loving care was so significant of perfect peace and rest, work well done. Without a struggle she fell asleep int he arms of him whom she loved and served gladly so long. She has left me and four children--three sons and one daughter--to miss her, but to follow on. I have written this sketch myself, because I knew her and loved her best.--M. G. Milligan.
