came to Elsinore in 1886, and bought thirty-one acres of choice land, on the 
banks of the Elsinore lake, built a good house, and made other improvements on 
his grounds, such as hedges, trees and shrubs, and opened the first dairy in the 
place, and is still in the business, which has steadily increased from the 
first. He began with a few cows and horses, and has now about forty-five head of 
cattle and horses. He is also a practical butter-maker, having run a creamery in 
Iowa for several years. Mr. McMillan was born in the noted city of Belfast, 
Ireland. In 1870, when quite young, he went to Iowa, where he resided for 
seventeen years, a part of the time engaged in farming. He was made a citizen of 
the United States in 1875, which was as soon as the law would permit. He was 
married in 1873 to Miss Kezia Armstrong, a native of Illinois. They have two 
children, Arthur and Amy, both born in Iowa. Mr. and Mrs. McMillan are members 
of the Methodist Church, and are worthy citizens of Elsinore, full of energy, 
business ability and enterprise,�another of the large list of thrifty people of 
Ireland who have sought and found a free home in America.
