Much
credit is due Milan Packard for the prominent and valuable part he has
played in the building of this community and state. He inspired the
confidence and respect of all with whom he came in contact. He passed
away at his home August 28, 1911, at the age of 80 surrounded by his
family. He is buried in the Springville City Cemetery, which he helped
survey with his father when they first arrived.
This
is a short compilation and reconstruction of various biographies, notes
and footnotes about my great grandfather Milan Packard, which was compiled
and rewritten by Richard
G. Packard, Mesa, Arizona.
