James W. Millsaps, First Treasurer of Glenn County, Dies
James W. Millsaps, 94, last surviving member of the corps of officers who served Glenn county when it was organized in 1891, died last night at a hospital in Red Bluff. A native of the Newville district, he had lived in what is now Glenn county all his life until the past four years, when he had lived at Red Bluff. He had been in declining health for several years, and had been a hospital patient for two months.
Funeral services will be held at the F. D. Sweet & Son chapel here at 1:30 Saturday afternoon, and interment will follow in the family plot of the Millsaps cemetery, near Chrome.
Millsaps was Glenn county's first treasurer, when this county was formed from the north part of Colusa county in 1891. At the time of the celebration in 1940 when electric power was delivered for the first time in Elk Creek, Millsaps and the late Ben F. Geis, the county's first district attorney, were the honored guests. Again in 1941 when Glenn county had it golden anniversary and dedicated the new county fair grounds here, Millsaps and Geis were jointly honored.
Millsaps was born in the Newville area November 10, 1856. He lived there and operated his ranch until four years ago, when he moved to Red Bluff to make his home with a daughter, Mrs. Alta Nunes. Three other daughters also survive: Mrs. Edith Spangle, of Dixon; Mrs. Florence Robinson and Mrs. Vivian Powell of Maxwell. There are also seven grandchildren and 15 great-grandchildren. - Transcribed by E.
