IN MEMORIAM.
(The following memorial sketch of the late Mrs. McMillan was given by Rev. E. J. Groenveld at the services, held at 4 p.m. last Friday, immediately after which her son, Rev. Dr. D. J. McMillan, left with the body for Carlinville, Ill., where the family have had their permanent home for the past thirty years:)
Mary Ann, daughter of Duncan and Margaret Brown, was born in Giles county, Tenn., March 25, 1812. Her education was more the result of her own efforts (aided by an older brother, who shared her intense desire for knowledge) than of any training she received in the schools of that early day. In 1834 she became a missionary to the Cherokee Indians, then in Alabama. With them she labored with zeal and success until 1836, when she was married to the late Edward McMillan. She was left a widow by the death of her husband (while he was serving as chaplain of the 32d Ill.) in August, 1864. [Two of her brothers - Neill S. Brown, in 1848, and John C. Brown, in 1870 - were Governors of Tennessee. The former was also Minister to Russia under Taylor's administration, and both held other important positions in the country. -- Ed. N. N.-W.]
Mrs. McMillan was the mother of seven sons and three daughters. Six of these reached maturity, four of whom survive her. Besides these, she brought up four others, and did a mother's part to them. She was a helper to many an indigent student, and with her husband aided and sheltered, and fed, and clothed worthy young men, who have since been useful in the various professions and vocations of life. She will ever be remembered as a Sabbath school worker and a friend to the poor. Her home was in Illinois from 1856 until 1875, when she spent part of her time in Missouri with Edward McMillan, Esq., the oldest son now living, and in Utah with her three sons, Henry G., now and for ten years past Deputy Clerk of the Third District Court, and Joseph S. and Rev. Duncan McMillan, who were engaged in the mission work. In Central and Southern Utah many an eye will moisten at the news of her death, for she was a teacher and a guide, and a comforter to the young and the old, and especially the down-trodden and broken-hearted women of that mission field. Her health began to fail in 1877, soon after breaking up her home, and her decline has been gradual through these years till her life reached its peaceful and triumphant termination at a few minutes past five o'clock Thursday afternoon, April 28. She was a helper to the needy, a friend to the worthy and every worthy object. She had made her home in Deer Lodge for about two years. All who knew her during these last years of her life will remember her peaceful, patient face, and her gentle and winning ways. To many who knew her best, it has often seemed that for her was destined more than the ordinary share of pain and disappointment. Her life was full of work and well-doing until the wearied and worn body refused to do the bidding of her aspiring soul; and at the close of life nothing gave her greater disappointment than that she could not, as formerly, keep her place in the front rank of those whose pleasure it is to glorify God and benefit humanity. For half a year past she has not known the privileges of God's house, where, in all her life, the sweetest moments of communion with her Redeemer were enjoyed. But through this separation from God's earthly courts was a severe trial in the loneliness of of her sufferings, she was often granted visions of the future and views of the past that enabled her cheerfully and trustfully to say that all was well and that she was satisfied. She was all her life a member of the Redeemer's church on earth. She rejoiced in her triumphs, worked with zeal for her success, and mourned her reverses. She is gone. We thank God for her life, her faith, her zeal, her end. Peace to her ashes. We know she is fully satisfied now. Now she knows that all things work together for good to those that love God.
