He came to Ayr, as a young man, more than forty years ago to assist his brother, Wellwood McMillan, who at that time operated a grocery business. He later followed farming, for some years owning and residing on the Bawtinheimer farm, east of Ayr, on the Galt road, after the sale of which he took up his residence on McRae street, Ayr. In the year 1909 he was married to Jane Elizabeth Chisholm of Crieff, Beverly Township, who predeceased him seven years. Deceased was a member of Knox United Church and a Liberal in politics. He was of a quiet, reserved disposition, an extensive reader, fond of poetry of which he memorized favorite selections, including many hymns. The many and frequent attentions of his neighbors and friends during his long illness testify to the high respect and esteem in which he was held by his fellow-townsmen and friends from the country round about where he was well known. Surviving him are his three brothers, Wellwood M., of Toronto; John, Seattle, Wash.; and William J., of Detroit; and his sisters, Janet, Margaret, Elizabeth and Mary of Ayr ; Agnes, of New York City ; Christina (Mrs. H . R. Jacoby) and Anna (Mrs. George Jacoby) of Dundurn, Sask. The funeral, which was held on Saturday afternoon, January 9th, was conducted by Rev. J. W. Currie, pastor of Knox United Church.
