Mr. McMillin was one of the old settlers of Vermilion County, Ill., having removed with his parents to this county in 1831 and settled at Sugar Grove. Afterwards the family moved to near Denmarck where he spent the most of his life.
He was a farmer by occupation and in his earlier days before railroad accommodation hauled produce to Chicago and Milwaukee.
Mr. McMillin was not a member of any church, was liberal in his religious views and expressed his faith in a living God.
Too much cannot be said of this generous and noble man. He was a good citizen, a true patriot and honest and upright in his deeds. He was loved and respected by all who knew him and his death will be sincerely regretted by a host of friends.
Sleep, dear loved one, sleep
Life's rocky steps are past
And in pastures green by water still
They tired feet rest at last.
Sleep, dear loved one, sleep,
With that calm look on thy brow
For never more shall care oppress
Or sorrow grieve the now
