General Notes: Husband - Amos Mercer McMillen

---

He was born in what is now Porter township, Clarion County, Pennsylvania, about one mile northwest of New Bethlehem, in a log house on the farm then owned by his father. He was eight years old when his father moved to Mahoning township. Until he was married he lived on the farm assisting his father, and attending the common schools of the locality. He learned the carpenter's trade, which he followed beginning in 1865. He was a manufacturer of frame timber, and a builder of barns, houses, etc. When timber was harder to get he built balloon barns, after which he turned his attention entirely to the erection of dwellings, and he put up some of the best buildings in New Bethlehem and vicinity.
Mr. McMillen was a resident of South Bethlehem beginning from 1875, and spent his entire life in that vicinity, with the exception of the years from April, 1907, to October, 1910, when he lived in Canton, Ohio. Here he was a ruling elder in the Calvary Presbyterian Church. In 1868 he built a house just across the Red Bank creek where he lived until May 10, 1875, when he moved to South Bethlehem.
He and his wife were members of the New Bethlehem Presbyterian Church, of which he was an elder for upward of twenty-six years. He became a member about 1874, and was a Sunday school teacher the greater part of the time. For about twenty-seven years he was a ruling elder, being ordained in 1885. Upon his return from Canton, where he was ruling elder also, he was reelected in the New Bethlehem Church at the first congregational meeting held after his return to New Bethlehem, and he attended many meetings of the Clarion Presbytery, as representative of his church.
Fraternally Mr. McMillen was a member of New Bethlehem Lodge, No. 725, I. O. O. F., having been initiated Oct. 17, 1870, and was a past officer of his lodge at least thirty years. He represented his lodge at the Grand Lodge at the following places: Allentown, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Wilkes-Barre, Scranton and Erie, Pennsylvania. He was also an honorary member of the Jr. O. U. A. M. Mr. McMillen served as school director and asssessor of South Bethlehem several terms. Politically he was a Republican and a strong advocate of temperance.
