In the spring of 1890 she moved to O'Neill where she has since made her home.

Mrs McMillan was a splendid woman, one of the real pioneers of the olden days in this section of the country. She endured all the hardships and provisions of pioneer life but never complained. She was of that pioneer life that never grumbled or complained, for to do so would display weakness or dispair.

Her daughter, and her sisters, who have been her companions for many years will miss her, as will many friends in this city who knew and admired this estimable old lady.
