General Notes: Husband - James A. McMillin

---

He laid a broad foundation for his life work, seizing every available advantage and raising himself to a high plane of manhood. For some time he was engaged in educational work, being well fitted to train the pliant mind of youth by his general character and preparation. He gave up this employment at the call of the nation for its stanch supporters, and on Aug. 6, 1862, he became a member of Co. B, 134th Reg. Pa. Vol. Inf., under Capt. James McCune and Col. M. S. Quay. His discharge came on May 26, 1863. He returned to his former vocation, and by doing farm work in the summer months he accumulated the means to purchase a farm and become independent. He was a loyal member of the Republican party and for ten years dispensed justice in the official capacity of justice of the peace, and he was known as a man of probity and fairness. The McMillins have ever measured their lives by the standards and conformities of the United Presbyterian Church.

He secured his educational training in the district schools and to such an extent that he was fitted for teaching. He was reared to agricultural pursuits and prior to enlisting for service in the Civil War, he alternated farming and teaching. On August 6, 1862, he entered Company B, One Hundred and Thirty-fourth Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, and served faithfully in every position to which duty called him. He resumed his former pursuits upon the close of his military service, acquired a good farm in Scott Township, and devoted much attention to its development and improvement. Like other intelligent young men, he early took an interest in public matters and soon identified himself with the Republican party. For ten years he served as a justice of the peace. In 1900 he was appointed supervisor of the census. In 1902 he was first elected a commissioner of Lawrence County, being re-elected in 1905.
