Indiana Gazette- November 12, 1946
SAMUEL MCMILLEN, 30-years-old Glen Campbell man, who had been married only
two weeks, died at 11:40am today as a result of injuries received when
he was crushed beneath an overturned tractor. McMillen is a brother of
William McMillen; Indiana County State Assemblyman. The deceased was injured
Thursday afternoon when his tractor overturned, while he was returning
home from working on a coal-stripping job. He laid unattended near the
side of the road between Gipsy and Hooverhurst until late Thursday night,
when a passing motorist picked him up and took him to the hospital. He
suffered a ruptured bowel and peritonitis had set in, making his condition
critical. Hospital attaches reported that he was holding his own Saturday
morning, but he had evidently taken a turn for the worse over the long
weekend and finally succumbed just before noon today. His family reported
that he had taken his tractor to a mine stripping operation between Gipsy
and Hooverhurst for the day, and after leaving the operation in
the evening, the tractor had overturned before he had gone very far. He
was alone and had no way to summon aid, but managed to crawl to the highway,
where he was picked up and brought to the hospital. He was the son of Charles
S. and Margaret (Rose) McMillen and was born March 16, 1916 in Gipsy. He
had been married two weeks ago to Norma Nicely who survives him along with
his mother, a step-daughter, Donna Lee Nicely and these brothers and sisters:
Mayadore S. at home; William, Blacklick; Mrs. Lena Rager, Cleveland, Ohio;
Mrs. Virginia Gilbert, New Kensington, and Charles McMillen, Aspinwall.
Services will be held in the Wilgus Wesleyan Methodist Church with Reverend
Daonal Jones officiating. Interment will be in the Rowley Cemetery. Arrangements
are being made by the Rairigh Funeral Home of Hillsdale.
