CEDAIIVILBE, OlflO, FRIDAY, JULY 9, 1920 ............. — , — j............. ............. .................— PRICE, $1,50 A YEAR FORMER CITIZEN WEDATMONMOUTH The following taken from the Monmouth Daily Review and will be of interest locally* After a life dedicated to service in the educational world, death claimed t TOT* Jt Hi McMillan yesterday oven- for the past 34 years instructor and head o f the Latin department’ o f Monmouth College and a man widely known for his thorough knowledge of ancient languages, history and cus- * toms as well as his versatile intimacy 3 with subjects which identify the1 scholar of today. The end came' about (5:80 o’clock at tho homo on i East Broadway after the grim fight Tvhiclj began during th e , Christmas holidays last year* “when he oontrae- ed a severe cold which developed into double pneumonia. In tho passing o f the local educa­ tor there is concluded an unusual reoprd of brilliant service in the par­ ticular field which he had chosen, for his .life’s work, Since the early stages of his own preparation, Professor McMillan’s efforts had been largely- devoted to the acquisition of a more thorough knowledge of the, subjects} in which he specialised, ana in pass-? ing on to succeeding younger genera­ tions the familiar acquaintance with various tests which he . himself had gained. It was his particular pride during his years of service at Monmouth college to follow the fortunes of , classes which- year after year were graduated from the institution. At the, ’20 commencement exercises, held early this month, he lay'in bed on the front porch of his home, directly across the street from the college campus, and as the graduating class inarched into the auditorium, he' ex- / tended his bit of congratulations and best wishes by a wave of his hand. The salute was returned by the Sen- . ions, who waved handkerchiefs in a spontaneous greeting which’ deeply touched the hearts o f all. It was the first time in thirty-four years that he had been absent ,from, the college commencement exercises and his in­ ability to attend seemed to bring to him a keener realization that his long service was nearing a close. The funeral services were held Wed­ nesday from the First U. P. church, of winch he was a member. The ser­ vices were in. charge o f the' Rev. J. R. McCory( pastor of the First church, assisted by Dr. T, H. McMichael, pres, ident of Monmouth College. ,*■ Inter- , menfc was< made in Monmouth ceme­ tery. , ‘ John Heftry McMillan was bom at Cfedafyille, Ohio, .on October 29, -iMl? and spent the early years of his life in his native state. He attended the high school at Cedarville, and after­ wards’ entered the Indian state uni­ versity at Bloomington, Ind. Fol­ lowing his graduation from the uni­ versity in 1874, he taught, Greek and mathematics at the ■academy at Smith Grove, Ky., and for three years was superintendent of the schools at Cedarville, Ohio. Before coming to Monmouth col­ lege in 1886, he was principal for five years of the Xenia, Qliio, high school, a position which he filled with great ability. His connection with the local institution -has been uninterrupted with the exception of brief vacation periods which were largely devoted to 'further study. As head of the Latin department he gained an unusually ‘ large circle of friends among stu­ dents and friends o f the college, and his death will bring genuine sorrow and regret to them, He was a member of tho Beta Theta Pi fraternity, the largest of its kind in the country, and was also a member of the honorary scholastic Greek letter society, Phi Beta ICappa, the highest honor, available to under­ graduate students. He entered the University of Chicago for post-grad­ uate work in 18D4 and received the degree of Doctor of Literature from the Western University of Pennsyl­ vania. Just before the outbreak of the Eu­ ropean war, in 1914, Professor and Mrs. McMillan went obroad, where he visited the Latin countries and con­ tinued his study, -They were iu Ger­ many when war was declared and had - a difficult time getting out of the country and back to the United States Daring his life, Professor McMil­ lan was prominent in church work. While teaching in Xenia he was an elder in the First United Presbyterian church and during his residence here he held a similar office at the local church, where he was also treasurer for many years. Many years ago he taught a Men’s Bible class at the church, and was later superintendent o f the Sabbath school and the West Side mission. In 1896 he was chair­ man of the national Y. P. C. U. con­ vention at Omaha In 1876 he* was married to Miss Ida Woodbuni, the ceremony being performed tin August 22, at Bloom ington, Ind., where they attended the university together. Besides Mrs. McMillan, he is survived by one sis­ ter, Mrs. Ada Collins o f Cedarville, Ohio, and one brother, James II. Mc­ Millan, also of Cedarville. The for­ mer has been here for the past two weeks, and the latter Is expected for the funeral. Prof. J. A. Woodbuvn, a brother of Mrs. McMillan, has been ’ in the city since Saturday when the end seemed near and will reamirt for the funeral services, THIS IS THE THIRD TIME.
