Bell, Daniel Young and John Johnson, all of Lonaconing. A long and useful life is ended, but up to the very last Hugh McMillan took a keen interest in public affairs. He was a greedy reader, and almost entertaining conversationalist and well liked to have some one come out from the busy world to the peaceful little cottage, where the old man lived in comfort with his son, Hugh — named after the soldier who fell at Manassas—and talk to him of old times, and especially if the visitor was one of his old pupils.

Mrs Hugh McMillan died Monday night at her home adjoining Mr James Weir's farm. Her illness was short and her death was not the result of disease, but rather at the burning out of a candle.

Mrs McMillan was born in Scotland 79 years ago last May. At the age of twelve with her parents she came to America and settled in Nova Scotia.

Catholic Church Frostburg Filled To Standing Room by Admiring Friends of Dead Boxer ~ Volley Fired [over] Open Grave by Squad of World War Veterans of Farrady Post.
Frostburg, Md - Dec 11 - The funeral of Ray McMillan, son of Mrs Ellen McMillan, Eckhart, who died as a result of injuries received in a boxing contest with Al Roberts, Staten Island, New York in a Jersey City ring Tuesday night took place at 9 o'clock this morning from St Michael's Catholic Church. High requiem mass was celebrated and Rev James J Quinn, pastor, preached a most impressive sermon on "Necessities of Life" which was listened to by such an outpouring of friends and his family as to fill the edifice to standing room only. The obsequies were in charge of the Farrady Post, American Legion of which Mr McMillan was a member. Dr E A Everett, Post Commander, conducted the services in behalf of the World War Veterans while the firing squad which shot a volley over the open grave in which had been lowered the massive casket laden with beautiful flowers, was in charge of Alvin Morton. The honorary pallbearers were: Michael Bynres, John Nelson, Joseph Nolan, James Close, Cecil Carter and Robert Davis, while the active pallbearers were William Lavin, John Nolan, Michael Sullivan, Robert Lee, Annan Price and Francis Duffy. Charles A. Kolb, boxing promoter, Newark, New Jersey, who introduced McMillan to the Eastern boxing center after he had achieved some success in the game in McKeesport and Pittsburgh, and who was retained as manager for the Eckhart boy, and J. K. Kolm, one of McMillan's training partners, also of Newark, New Jersey, attended the funeral. Mr. Kolb brought with him last night a purse of $5OO contributed by promoters, boxers and friends of McMillan in Newark, which was presented to McMillan's mother, who is a widow. Mr. Kolb stated that plans were under way for the holding of a big benefit boxing carnival in Newark in the near future, the proceeds of which will be given to Mrs. McMillan. According to Kolb, McMillan was not having any trouble with Roberts and was unscratched when carried from the ring. Roberts was considered more or less an easy opponent for the rugged Eckhart boy who had been gaining national prominence by his rapid rise up tho pugilistic ladder. On next Tuesday he was to have met Captain Rob Roper and was scheduled to have gone to New Orleans where he was under contract to perform. Among the out-of-town relatives and friends who attended the obsequies today included, William McMillan, Chicago; Mr. and Mrs. Charles McMillan and Lewis and Frank McMillan, McKeesport; George and John Farley, Pittsburgh: Mr. and Mrs. John Mclntyre and family; James Feldman and Thomas Farley, Fairmont; Anthony and Alice Atkinson, Woodlawn, Pa.; Miss Margaret McKune, Homestead, Pa,; Miss Edna Swaggers, Ellersie, Md., and Mrs Croft and daughter, Mt Savage.

McMULLEN, Hugh A.
FORMER STATE COMPTROLLER, HUGH A MCMULLEN, 78, DIES ~ Leading Business Figure For Nearly 50 Years Had Been Ill For Many Months ~ WIDELY ESTEEMED ~ Built Great Store Here And Was First Head Of Liberty Trust Company
Hugh A. McMullen, who would have been 78 on December 9, died at his home, 515 Washington street, last night after a long illness that had kept him confined to his home for over a year and a half. All the surviving members of his family were with him at the end. Prominent in the commercial and financial life of Western Maryland over a half century; comptroller of the State of Maryland from 1916 to 1920 and first president of Liberty Trust Company, Mr McMullen was esteemed and admired by thousand of friends.
Survived his brother
He was the third and last survivor of the McMullen Brothers who were prominent in the commercial and finances of Allegany County throughout their lives. They were John P McMullen, Daniel F McMullen and Hugh A McMullen. They were the sons of Hugh McMullen, a native of County Armagh, Ireland, who first came to Allegany county about the year 1840 who established here a permanent residence after the Mexican War in which he served in the United States army. The elder McMullen married Eliza Ryan, a native of Frederick county, Maryland. The ceremony took place in St Patrick's Catholic church, Cumberland. Five children were born to this union grew up and became residents of Cumberland. Daniel F was born in Franklin, Md October 6, 1873, died June 6, 1917; Mrs Mary Barrett, wife of James Barrett, born July 4, 1856 died April 2, 1933; Hugh A born in Franklin December 9, 1859; John P born in Franklin August 4, 1863, died March 12, 1914 and Katherine McMullen born at Franklin 1865, now residing in Baltimore. The parents of the McMullen family lived to a ripe age. Mrs McMullen died at Frostburg, February 6, 1900 (1899) in her 72nd year. Mr McMullen died at Frostburg, February 5, 1904 in his 79th year. About 1869, while the family was living at Westernport, Hugh McMullen, the father, who had been reasonably successful business enterprises met with financial reverses that left him out of business and in debt.
Began Business Career
In the following years, the sons obtained employment, Hugh A McMullen, clerking in a Piedmont, W Va store and Daniel, the older brother, working in the mines. The sons were thus able to assist the father in the liquidation of his debts and the mortgage on their home. After reaching manhood, the father and his sons were engaged in prospecting and mining in Leadville, Colorado. Later they returned to Maryland and the sons established a mercantile business in Mt Savage about 1882. In 1884, they formed a partnership with Harry B Shaffer under the name McMullen Bros & Co. About 1890 they established a store in Frostburg and later an additional store was opened at Eckhart. In the meantime, Mr Shaffer retired from the firm. In 1893 they purchased the large St Nicholas hotel property in Cumberland, remodeled it and established the first department store in the city, under the firm name of McMullen Bros. About 1895 they sold the Mt Savage store to H Mullaney & Co. Later they disposed of their Frostburg interests and devoted their time and attention to the growing Cumberland store which had become one of the largest between Pittsburgh and Baltimore. In 1900, all three brothers became associated with the banking business, assisting in the organization of the Citizens National Bank of which Hugh A McMullen became a director and later vice-president. In 1903, they assisted in the organization of the Fidelity Savings Bank of Frostburg. Daniel F McMullen becoming the first president. In the interim, the three brothers had extended their interest in coal mining with the purchase of acreage in West Virginia which they operated for several years. In 1907 they acquired a large coal tract in Kentucky and formed the Sterling Coal company. The health of the older brother, Daniel F McMullen, becoming impaired, following the death of the other brother John P McMullen in 1914, left the care and direction of all their interests in the hands of Hugh A McMullen. This prompted him to later curtail some of the plans the three brothers had in mind for further developing their mining and other properties and left him to direct their mercantile and financial interests in Western Maryland. This continued until his health in the last few years forced him to give up daily participating in directing his financial interests.
Elected State Comptroller
Always a diligent student and observer of public affairs and political movements, Mr. McMullen declined to take active interest in politics until 1915, when he was nominated for the office of State Comptroller by the Democratic party. He was elected at the general election of November in 1915, and took office January 1916. Immediately after taking office, he made a thorough analysis of the fiscal affairs of the state, establishing strict business methods of handling the public finances and caused the necessary legal measures to be drafted for the economically systematizing the revenues and expenditures of the State. (Abridged)
Married in 1889
On June 18, 1889, Hugh A McMullen married Miss Anna Mullady, a daughter of Mr and Mrs Denis Mullady, Mt Savage. To this union were born eight children, three sons and five daughters. They are: Daniel F McMullen; Hugh A McMullen, Jr, who died in 1928; John J McMullen; Mrs Luther P Shaffer, city; Mrs John A Gloninger, Pittsburgh; Mrs Josephine Mackey, Cumberland; Mrs W E Delaney, Williamsport, Pa and Mrs Helen Jacob, Pittsburgh.

Capt. Jesse C. McNeill, late captain of the famous McNeill Rangers, died at his home in Seymoursville, Illinois, on Sunday, March 3rd. At the outbreak of the war he resided in Missouri, whither his father had moved from Hardy Co. prior to the former's birth. Father and two sons, Jesse and George, entered the Confederate army in the west and were under the command of General Price. George was killed at the battle of Lexington, while Jesse and his father, Capt. Jno H., were taken prisoners. They were removed to Chicago and making their escape worked their way through to the South Branch Valley. From here, Capt Jno H. went to Richmond and got a commission to raise a company. At that time, General Imboden was attempting to raise a regiment of partisan rangers and McNeill joined this. When Imboden's regiment was taken into the regular Confederate army, McNeill withdrew his company which, from that time on was known as McNeill's Rangers. Capt J H McNeill was wounded at Mt Jackson in 1864 and died shortly after at Harrisonburg. His son, Capt Jesse, commanded the Rangers from that time until the end of the war. He was in command at the time of the Cumberland raid when Generals Cook and Kelley were captured. So far as we know but two men in this immediate section were with the company, W H Maloney and Geo H Johnson, the latter a member of the seventh regiment and the former a member of McNeill's command. Capt McNeill was recognized by friend and foe as a gallant officer and high-class citizen. The First Lietuenant of the Rangers. I. S. Welton, still survives and resides at Petersburg, Grant County.

The recent death of Capt. Jesse C. McNeill in Mahomet, Ill, revives the unique position occupied by the gallant troop known as McNeill Rangers and the splendid service they performed in Northern Va. General Lee had not in his service a more industrious and efficient force than that band which patrolled the mountains and narrow valleys of northern Va. and whose captures in proportion to the force employed were second to no other body of Confederates. The capture of two major generals, Cook and Kelly in Cumberland Md, is celebrated as one of the most daring feats of the War of the States. It is so pronounced by Gen John B Gordon in his Reminiscence of the War and a similar tribute is paid by Gov. C. T. O'Ferral, of Va. in his "Four Years of Active Service". In the estimation of the general public, McNeill won his spurs in that remarkable capture, but his men felt that his incident was matched by many others in daring and success. His audacious boldness, coupled with consummate skill, gave him mastery of a situation when all the odds were against him. The intrepid young leader was young when as first lieutenant he succeeded his father, who had fallen mortally wounded in a charge to the command of the Rangers - secured and held the confidence and good will of his men to the down fall of the Confederacy and in the long years which have followed he grew in their esteem and affection, and remained till death the central and engaging figure in the group. The wide circle of devoted friends and the happy home which he loved most and served best testify to those manly and tender qualities which made him a leader in war and a favorite in peace. -Charlestown Free Press

The body of a 49-year-old Meyersdale man was found lying in Patterson Creek, about nine miles east of Keyser, yesterday morning. He was W. Robert E. McWilliams, an employe of the Stony River Dam, who was frog hunting in the stream with Everett Wood, 25 Allegany Street, Keyser, when he was stricken. Mr. McWilliams disappeared in about six feet of water. It was known that Mr. McWilliams could swim and Mineral County Prosecuting Attorney Byron Athey ordered an autopsy which disclosed that death resulted from a heart attack. According to Mr. Wood, the two men had left their car at the bridge on Route 46 about 12:30 a.m. and proceeded up creek for a distance. The two men started back toward the bridge, Mr. Wood on the east side and Mr. McWilliams on the west side of the creek. Both carried lights, according to Mr. Wood, who said he looked around for Mr. McWilliams and saw his light fall. He entered the creek and tried to locate his companion, Mr. Wood said. Water at that point is approximately six feet deep. When he could not find Mr. McWilliams, Mr. Wood ran to the highway for help and this resulted in Sheriff Carroll Stanley and Stale Trooper J. T. Plybon being notified. Cpl. J. R. Polls and Trooper R. L. Johnson of the West Virginia State Police, also responded. On arrival at the scene, Trooper Plybon entered the creek and searched for the body. He located the victim at 1:55 a. m. just a short distance from the place where Mr. Wood had last seen his light. Mr. McWilliams was born in Duquesne, Pa., a son of Mrs. Mary Hostetler McWilliams and the late I. M. McWilliams. He was a member of Amity United Church of Christ, Meyersdale Lodge 554, A. F. and A. M., and the Consistory. Surviving, besides his mother, are his wife, Mrs. Myrtle Murray McWilliams; two children, Mrs. James Weyant, Wellsboro, Pa., and Miss Carol Ann McWilliams, at home, and three sisters, Mrs. Helen Hinkle, Warsaw, Ind.; Mrs. Dorothea Fullerton, Duquesne, and Mrs. Marion McKenzie, Silver Lake, Ind. The body is at the Price Funeral Home in Meyersdale, where friends will be received from 2 to 4 and 7 to 9 today and where a funeral service will be held tomorrow at 2 p.m.
