Death of the Accused

J.W. Milam died on December 31, 1980, and his obituary was published in the Greenville Delta Democrat Times on Friday, January 3, 1981, p. 2A. Although the obituary lists Juanita Milam as his wife, the couple had actually divorced several years earlier. Milam never remarried. The photographs of the grave were taken on February 6, 2005. Milam does not appear to be buried near any other family members.
