Mrs. Hugh McMillan died Monday night at her home adjoining Mr James Weir's farm. Her illness was short and her death was not the result of disease, but rather at the burning out of a candle. The remains were conveyed to the home of her son-in-law, Mr Daniel Young in Detmold yesterday. The funeral occurred this afternoon. Burial in Oak Hill Cemetery. Rev A C Thomson officiated. Mrs McMillan was born in Scotland 79 years ago last May. At the age of twelve with her parents she came to America and settled in Nova Scotia. Here she lived for a number of years and married Mr Hugh McMillan. They then moved into Pennsylvania in the hard coal region. Later coming into Maryland. Barrelsville, Eckhart, Franklin, Lonaconing and Newburg, W Va have been their homes. To the younger element of our population, Mrs McMillan was not well known as she had lived in Garrett County for the last 18 years. The older people of the town know her well, remembering when her husband was principal of the school here, also superintendent of the Big Vein mine. The family consisted of fifteen children, ten of whom with her husband survive her. The children are: Messrs James, George, John and Hugh McMillan; Mrs James Weir, Mrs Thomas Bell, Mrs Daniel Young, Mrs Frank Green and Mrs Mollie Green. Her son, William, died several years ago from injuries received in the Big Vein mine.
