General Notes: Husband - John McMillen


He was educated at Sharon, Pennsylvania, and in 1853, at the age of seventeen, he came to Sewickley, where he learned the carpenter's trade with the Miller brothers. After one year of journeyman-work, he began contracting, and resided in Sewickley.

Leaving the school in which he had obtained his youthful education, he learned the carpenter's trade, and after working for three years as a journeyman he entered the contracting field. To these operations he added lumber dealing, later admitting his son, Frederick J., to partnership. The original name of the concern was "John McMillen," and after the forming of the partnership it was known as John McMillen & Son, and still later, after the death of the founder, business was transacted as John McMillen's Sons. He established a business prosperous in its day, whose welfare has become more secure with the passing of the years. John McMillen met an accidental death, his flourishing business a monument to the thoroughness with which he laid his plans and the excellent judgment that directed his actions. Throughout nearly all of his mature life he was a member of the Presbyterian church. [GPHWP, 1098]
