South Dakota Death Index, 1905-1955 Name: Millie E Holmes Certificate #55504, p. 491 Died: January 5, 1917 County: Hand Elderly Woman Resident of The North Country Succumbs to Long Illness. Service At Daughter's Home Sunday and Interment at Wessington Cemetery. The funeral of Mrs. W.W. Holmes was held at the home of her daughter Mrs. John Gaudig on Sunday, Jan. 7th Rev. Stiles conducting the service. Interment was made at the Wessington cemetery. Mrs. Holmes has been a sufferer from asthma for several years, but the immediate cause of her death was heart failure. Millie Elizabeth Shauger was born in New York state on May 19, 1858, and died January 5th, 1917, aged 58 years, 7 months and 16 days. Her parents moved to Lewanee County, Michigan, when she was a young girl. At the age of 19 years she was married to W.W. Holmes. To this union five children were born, four daughters and one son, all of whom are living. In the spring of 1883 she came with her husband and two older children to Faulk county this state, where they filed on a homestead, residing here until the spring of 1897 when they came to Hand County, which has been the family home since. About 8 years ago the husband was called by death to those far shores for which she has now embarked. One of the daughters, Mrs. Frank Bingham who lives in Wisconsin was unable to be present at the funeral. The sympathy of the community is extended to the sorrowing relatives.

Can not find her parents or sibling on a 1870 census, but Amelia shows up on 1870 census with Mark C. (25) and Mary S. (20) Rorick In Michigan. William H and Helen show up on future censuses. Amelia would have been married about 1877, so would show up on future census with her married name of Holmes. I'm going to go with the earliest record of 1860 census for her place of birth which her parents would have provided. As per the information provided by Margaret Rorick Beach, up above.
