According to "McMillan and Families' pages 181-182;
"When Rachael Sumner McMillan died August 19, 1901, a news article 'In Memoriam' was written about her; I quote parts of it here:
'In her early childhood, her parents moved from Emanuel County to Irwin County Ga. and made their home on Little River, several miles north of Tifton, Georgia. and having lived in this section most of her life she remembered many things about the early settlement of this portion of Georgia.
She remembered seeing straggling bands of Indians, seeing their camp fires at a distance and staying awake all night, listening and watching. And even after her marriage, her house was broken open and robbed by the Indians, while the family was away from home.

Mrs. McMillan was very domestic in her habits, and during a great portion of her life, manufactured (wove) the cloth from which the families' clothes was made, did her own cooking and milking, attended large herds of cattle, etc., and all this with but little help until her daughters became large enough to assist her.'
