Wilcox Progressive Era, Thursday, March 19, 1908
Death of Mrs. Thomas B. McMillan.
  It will grieve the early friends of this estimable lady to learn, that she 
died in Knoxville, Tenn., last Saturday, where her remains were interred beside 
her husband, the late Thomas B. McMillan, for many years in the past, the 
Circuit Court Clerk of Wilcox County. About 15 years ago, with her husband, she 
removed to Knoxville. Her husband preceeded her to the great beyond several 
years since. At her death, Mrs. McMillan was about 78 years of age. Her maiden 
name was Miss Frances Anderson, and she was a daughter of the late General 
William Anderson of Tennessee, and who was at one time, United States Senator 
from that State. Her early married life was passed in Camden, where she and her 
estimable husband, lived respected and esteemed by our people. Her surviving 
children are A. V. McMillan, of Camden, D. T. McMillan, of Knoxville, and a 
married daughter in Knoxville, Mrs. J. S. Robins, and several; grand children. 
To the family, our sympathies are extended in their sorrow.

OBITUARY
Of Mrs. Fannie V. McMillan.
  We reproduce by request, from the Knoxville, Tenn., Journal and Tribune, the 
following concerning the death of Mrs. Fannie V. McMillan, a former resident of 
Camden:
  "Mrs. Fannie V. McMillan, widow of the late Thomas B. McMillan, whose death 
occurred a year ago, died Saturday morning at one o'clock, aged seventy-seven 
years. The deceased leaves three children, A. V. McMillan, of Camden, Alabama, 
David T. McMillan, of this city and Mrs. J. S. Robins, of this city.
  Mrs. McMillan's death followed a period of suffering. Twenty-six months ago 
she suffered a stroke of paralysis, but during most of the time since she has 
been perfectly conscious until a few days since. During all of the time she did 
not murmur or complain. She was gentle in her disposition, and led an exemplary 
Christian life. She was charitable to a fault. She had hosts of friends.
  The deceased was the daughter of Alexander Anderson and grand daughter of 
Joseph Anderson, both of whom were members of the United States senate from 
Tennessee, and this is one of two instances in history where both a father and 
his son served in the United States senate. The other instance occurred in the 
Adams family of Massachussetts. The living brother and sisters, of Mrs. 
McMillan are Judge David D. Anderson, of the criminal and circuit courts of 
this county; Mrs. J. Foster Scott, Sr., and Miss C. G. Anderson.
  The funeral services will be held this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from the 
family residence, Scott avenue and Central street. Rev. T. M. Lowry, pastor of 
the Third Presbyterian church of which the deceased had been a member for many 
years, will officiate. The interment will follow in Old Gray cemetery.
  Mrs. McMillan, the deceased, was born in Jefferson county, but at the age of 
six or seven years removed to this city with her distinguished father.
  Both the criminal and chancery courts were adjourned yesterday out of respect 
to Mrs. McMillan, whose death was early announced. Mr. David T. McMillan, the 
son, who lives in this city, is the deputy clerk and master of this county.
  The pall-bearers will be: Messrs. Jno. M. Brooks, Eugene Wilson, John M. 
Dailey, A. B. Bauman, Ed. Lennon, Chas. Roth and George Williams."
