U.S. Million Dead.
U.S. Million is another of the Belton”flu” patients who has gone on “the long journey.”
Mr. Million came here last fall to spend the winter months so his children could attend the Belton school. Some days ago the whole family, father, mother and four children, were stricken with the “flu” and have been seriously ill.
Death came to Mr. Million Tuesday night. The rest of the family are believed to be on the road to recovery.
The Star-Herald, Belton, Missouri. Thursday, 20 February 1919.

LKH note: unfortunately his wife and youngest child would die within the week.

A paper was circulated here in town, one day last week, by J.E. Urton, one of our big-hearted citizens, and about $50.00 was raised, in a short time, to help in defraying the funeral expenses of U.S. Million, who died in Belton on Tuesday of last week from pneumonia, following the “Flu.” Mr. Million’s house was a few miles south of Peculiar, but his family was spending the winter in Belton for the children to attend school. Since his death, his wife and one of the children have died from the same disease, and other members of the family are still very ill. The family came to Missouri, a few years ago, from Kentucky, and he spent several years on the G.B. Simmons farm, in the vicinity of Raymore, raising tobacco. The member of the family have the sympathy of all, in their deep sorrow.
