Wilcox Progressive Era, Thursday, October ??, 1906
THOMAS B. MCMILLAN DIED THIS MORNING
Prominent Merchant of This City Passes Away.
Had Been Ill Since Last May.
Survived by His Wife and Three Children.
  The many relatives an friends of Thos B. McMillan will be pained to hear that 
he died this morning at 6 o’clock at his residence on the corner of Scott and 
N. Central avenue.
  Mr. McMillan was born in Wilcox County, Ala., in 1831. He was a student of 
the University of Tennessee of this city in 1849 – 1850.
While there attending the university he met and wedded Miss Fannie V. Anderson, 
daughter of Gen. Alexander Anderson, of this county, and returned to his home 
in Alabama, cutting short his collegiate course. By that marriage he had six 
children, those of whom survive him. They are: A. V. McMillan, merchant of 
Camden, Ala., D. T. McMillan, deputy clerk and master of chancery court, this 
county, and Miss Lorene McMillan, who resided with her father.  Mr. McMillan 
filled a space in the memory of Wilcox County, Ala., people from among whom he 
removed in 1887 to this place, that was largely to his credit as a man, 
citizen, and christian gentleman. He served there as a circuit court clerk and 
magistrate, and was a successful planter.
  On coming to Knoxville he engaged in the lumber business and was a member of 
the firm of Ross, McMillan & Co. In his new home he made many friends. He was 
the soul of business integrity and social virtues. His standards and ideals 
were high. His conduct and intercourse was marked by kindness and generous 
dealing with all he came in contact with.
  He was an elder in Third Presbyterian church.
  One of the pathetic phrases of his death is that he leaves a devoted wife 
lingering in the throes of a probably fatal malady.
