Millard is very likely a brother of Susie Bragg who was the first wife of Stephen S. Sloan. This Stephen Sloan was the son of James Harrison and Susannah Heck Sloan. Millard is buried in the James Harrison Sloan family plot (NW section of cemetery).
The initials of Millard's parents. still readable on his marker (MC and NJ) match the names I've found for the parents of Susie Bragg: Miles Conway and Nancy J. Butts Bragg.
(I placed Susie Bragg Sloan in the Sloan Cemetery in 2015, but did not find a marker for her during the May 2016 cemetery survey. Her husband, Stephen S. Sloan, was originally buried in the Sloan Cemetery, but according to cemetery records his body was moved to Warrensburg, Missouri, likely by the family of Stephen's 3d wife who is buried with him there.)
Further research to be done.
