JAMES SHAW MILLIKIN - Obituary
Banner-Democrat, East Carroll Parish newspaper (date unknown)
It is with profound regret that the Banner Democrat chronicles the death of the Honorable James S. Millikin which occurred at the family home at Millikin, La. on Tuesday, September 11, 1928, at 10 o'clock p. m.
Death came as the result of a stroke of paralysis some eight months ago and while his passing was looked for by his family and friends, yet, when it did come, it was a great shock to his wife and daughters, as well as to his relatives and friends.
At his bedside were his devoted wife, his daughter, Dr. Marie Millikin Long, of Memphis, his brother, Mr. Creed Millikin, of West Carroll, his nurse and several others. His daughter, Mrs. Irene Millikin Andrews, of Denver, Colorado, was immediately notified of her father's condition, and arrived in time to be with her mother before the funeral.
The burial service of the Methodist church was read at the residence before leaving by Rev. A. D. George, pastor of the church. The room in which the casket rested was a mass of the most beautiful floral tributes rarely ever seen in such an abundance, coming from friends throughout East and West Carroll parishes, attesting to the high esteem in which Mr. Millikin was held.
The active pall bearers were Edward Voelker, W. H. Maben, Senator N. C. Williamson, H. C. Quicksall, Ollie Briggs, of Oak Grove, Stuart Pittman, Walter Pittman, Stephen Voelker, Jno. C. Bass, E. F. Stevens, Ralph Aly. The honorary pall bearers were Doctor S. M. Doughlas, of Eudora, S. B. Kennedy, Hon. C. S. Wyly.
He was interred in Providence cemetery Thursday evening, September 13, 1928, at 4 o'clock. The burial rites of Pecan Grove Lodge No. 222, F. & A. M. being conducted by the Worshipful Master, Dr. T. G. Biggs. On the casket was draped the Confederate flag, so dear to his heart.
In his death the parish of East Carroll loses one of its most prominent and most useful citizens. He was one of the few remaining old Confederate veterans who fought the battles of the Confederacy in the sixties. He was respected in life, he is honored in death.
James Shaw Millikin was born in the old parish of Carroll in the year 1847, where he lived until he joined the Confederate army. When the war broke out he joined Capt. J. W. Dunn's company, the Floyd Guards, early in 1861. Being a mere boy, only a little over 12 years of age, he was mustered out of this company on account of his size and age, at Delhi, La., together with the late Thos. F. Montgomery. He immediately joined the Tiger Rifles at Kilbourne, La. He was sent to Wilson's Creek, Missouri, and took part in the battle of Wilson's Creek the following day. He also fought in all the battles along the Ozark mountains. He later joined Slemmon's Second Arknasas Calvalry, but was mustered out of this company on account of his size and age. He then joined the Missouri Minute Men and stayed with this company until the close of the war, this company being commanded by Captain J. C. Lee, now living in Texas. On a visit here to his old comrade some ten or more years ago Captain Lee told the writer that Jim Millikin was one of the bravest soldiers who ever shouldered a musket. Young Millikin was with Captain Lee in all of the battles fought in Kansas, Missouri and Louisiana; and he took part in a very desperate fight at Goodrich landing, below Lake Providence. He fought in the battles of Centralia, Mo., and Lawrence, Kansas. He served with distinction as a minute man during the four years of the Civil War.
He married Miss Alice Keller October 28, 1880, at Vista Ridge, Carroll parish. He moved to Bunch's Bend and formed the partnership of Andrews, Millikin & Co., this firm afterward becoming C. D. Benton & Co. Mr. and Mrs. Millikin lived in Bunch's Bend for fifteen years. There were born unto them seven children - Benton, Miles, Maggie May, Irene, Marie, Marguerite and James S. Millikin, Jr. Two of the children are still living - Mrs. Irene Millikin Andrews, of Denver, Colorado, and Doctor Marie Millikin Long, of Memphis, Tenn. Dr. Long gave up her practice to be at the bedside of her father during his last days.
There were seven Millikin boys. Only one is left, Mr. Creed Millikin, of West Carroll.
Mr. Millikin was in partnership with the late C. D. Benton for over thirty years. He resigned from this firm and moved to Lake Providenc, engaging in the mercantile business for several years. He bought the old ancestral home of Arlington and lived there for a number of years. When the children were sent off to school he moved to the country and founded the town of Millikin, which will probably bear his name for generations to come.
Mr. Millikin's grandfather served under George Washington in the revolutionary war. His father served under Andrew Jackson in the Indian wars and also at the battle of New Orleans. He was a Scottish Rite Mason, a York Rite Mason and a Shriner. He was one of the early Pythians who helped to found and build up Providence Lodge No. 28, Knights of Pythias. He was a consistent Baptist, and some years ago he donated a church building to the Baptist congregation at Lake Providence.
In the summer of 1923 Mr. Millikin was nominated for governor of Louisiana on the Republican ticket. While the parish of East Carroll is normally Democratic, yet the honor of being named the nominee for governor of a great state having fallen to one of East Carroll's most distinguished citizens, our people were highly gratified, and considered it an honor justly due the old gentleman.
As we stated in the beginning, Mr. Millikin was one of East Carroll's most prominent and honored citizens. By industry, economy and rare business judgment he amassed a considerable fortune. He was a self-made man, having risen from the ravages of the Civil War to wealth and prominence. He will live in the memory of the people of East and West Carroll, not only as a good citizen, but as a brave Confederate soldier, who offered his life to the cause of the old South. It was fitting, indeed, that he was buried in his old Confederate uniform, at his request; and as he lay in his casket in the sleep that knows no breaking, attired in the uniform of a Confederate general, he looked a real soldier, not the lad of twelve, but the grey-haired veteran of four score years.
May he rest in peace, beneath the sod of the land he loved so well; and as the seasons come and go, may the rippling of the waves on the shore, the rustle of the leaves, and the sweet song of the uncaged bird be unto him a lullaby unceasing, as the sun shines golden o'er the silent city of the dead.
To his grief-stricken widow and children, and relatives, we tender our heartfelt sympathy; but we pause to remind them that when this corruptable shall assume incorruption, and this mortal shall put on immortality, then shall come to pass the saying which is written: Death is swallowed up in victory.
"Soldier rest, they warfare o'er,
Dream of battle fields no more;
Sleep the sleep that knows no breaking,
days of danger, nights of waking."
