W. A. McMillen
W. A. McMillen Dies at Sanitarium
Plano Star Courier, March 18, 1921
After a long illness W. A. McMillen of Plano, died at a Dallas sanitarium Tuesday morning following a surgical operation. He had been ill for many weeks. First he suffered an attack of pneumonia that was followed by complications that required his going to a sanitarium for surgical attention.
The funeral will be held at the Presbyterian Church of this city at 3:300 p.m. today, to be followed by burial at the Murphy cemetery.
The deceased was believed to be the oldest native born white citizen of Collin county, being seventy-three years of age at the time of his death. He was born at Murphy, within a half mile of the spot where he will to-day be laid to rest.
He leaves a son, R. A. McMillen of Plano; and two daughters, Mrs. A. M.Miller of Dallas, and Mrs. A. P. Dickerson, of Allen. He is survived by a brother, J. r. McMillen, of Ochiltree, Texas, and two sisters, Mrs. A. U. Taylor and Mrs. M. E. Turner, of Murphy. His wife died in 1884, and is sleeping beside the spot where the husband will be buried today.
Mr. McMillen was a member of the Presbyterian church. He had lived practically all his life in Collin county and was one of the county's most highly respected citizen. Few men are able to preserve throughout so long a life a character as high and the same unfailing and ready obedience to every duty that imposes. Frank, courteous and considerate towards all, he was still firm and unyielding in his convictions of right and unswerving in his determination to follow them.
The Star-Courier offers its sympathy to the bereaved relatives; feeling that they may, in their sorrow cherish some pride in the perfect assurances that the life of the deceased was an example that may be very useful and an honor to those who imitate his virtues.
