General Notes: Husband - Henry M. Millhoff
He enjoyed but poor educational advantages and left school at fourteen years of age to engage as a clerk in the store of Lloyd & Vance. The firm changed several times and in 1855 he left their service to form a mercantile partnership with W. R. Hunter which lasted until 1871. He then became a member of the firm of Hubbs & Millhoff, from which he retired in 1875. Four years later he formed a second partnership with W. R. Hunter, which continued till the death of the latter in 1885, when Mr. Millhoff purchased the entire stock of goods and continued in the general mercantile business. He owned the store room, also a house and lot and fifteen acres of valuable land.
In politics H. M. Millhoff was a republican. He and his wife were members of Donegal M. E. church, in which he served as class leader for twenty-five years, steward and trustee and as secretary and treasurer of its Sunday school. He was a lay delegate to the annual conference Canton, Ohio, in 1876.
