- Obituary
To the News.
Hymah Green McMillin was born in Franklin county, Ohio, Sept. 14, 1813, and died July 25, 1899, aged eighty-five years, ten months and ten days. In 1842 he was married to Amanda Cline, who departed this life in 1858.
To this union was born five children, all of whom have preceded the father to the other life as follows: Josephine, died Sept. 6, 1852; William, died July 5, 1856; George L., lost his life in the Union army in the defense of his country, July 22, 1864; Susana, died march 20, 1875, and Harvey H., died March 11, 1875 - this leaving the father childless. Two brothers, five grand children and three great grandchildren survive him.
Mr. McMillin was one of the old settlers of Vermilion County, Ill., having removed with his parents to this county in 1831 and settled at Sugar Grove. Afterwards the family moved to near Denmarck where he spent the most of his life.
He was a farmer by occupation and in his earlier days before railroad accommodation hauled produce to Chicago and Milwaukee.
Mr. McMillin was not a member of any church, was liberal in his religious views and expressed his faith in a living God.
Too much cannot be said of this generous and noble man. He was a good citizen, a true patriot and honest and upright in his deeds. He was loved and respected by all who knew him and his death will be sincerely regretted by a host of friends.
Sleep, dear loved one, sleep
Life's rocky steps are past
And in pastures green by water still
They tired feet rest at last.
Sleep, dear loved one, sleep,
With that calm look on thy brow
For never more shall care oppress
Or sorrow grieve the now
