S. MCMILLAN, brother of James McMillan, and one of the well known and popular citizens of Escambia county, was born in Santa Rosa county, Fla, September 7, 1854. He removed with his family to Pollard, Ala., in 1870, and on attaining his majority began working for his father as teamster, but afterward accepted a clerkship in the business house of McMillan & Wiggins, in which capacity he continued for some time. Subsequently he clerked for another firm, and in 1884 embarked in the mercantile business in partnership with C. S. Wiggins, which firm, for three years and a half, carried on a successful trade in the town of Pollard. He then disposed of his interest in the house and for sometime thereafter was engaged in the lumber and logging business, and in 1890 purchasd a grocery store in Brewton, which he has since conducted very successfully. On the 6th day of February, 1891, he was appointed city marshal of Brewton, which office he still holds with credit to himself and satisfaction to the people of the town. Mr. McMillan and Miss Kate Leigh, popular daughter of Hon. N. R. Leigh, were united in marriage on the 19th day of October, 1878, and to their union two children, Ed Leigh and Malcolm, have been born. In politics, Mr. McMillan affiliates with the democratic party, and in religion adheres to the creed of the Methodist, church of which he has for some years been a faithful member. He belongs to the K. of H. and K. of P. and Masonic orders, and socially is one of the most highly esteemed citizens of Brewton.
