Notes
a. Note:   RS, ILLINOIS, MILHOLLANDS". Some about Thomas and Susan Milholland found in the notes with Thomas Milholland. It reads: "REV. J. H. MILHOLLAND. Rev. John Hardy Milholland was born at Grandview, Edgar County, Illinois February 5 1841. His youth was spent on his father's farm. At the outbreak of the Civil War he enlisted in the 25th ILL. Infantry and served his country for the duration of the war. He was severely wounded at the battle of Stone River, and taken prisoner, but was exchanged because of the severity of his wound. He recovered and again, with his company, took part in the battle of Chickamauga. His father and three brothers also served in the War. At the close of the war he felt called to the ministry and entered the Lincoln University in 1867. His first pastorate was in Colesburg, Iowa directly after his marriage to Nancy E. Rogers in 1874. After two years he returned tohis native state and for the remainder of his ministerial work, labored in the Illinois Synod until his retirement from active duties. His last charge was with the Cumberland Pres. Church, Lerna, ILL. He spent most of his retirement in Charleston Illinois among friends and comrades of the war, but with increased age it becaome necessary for him to be near some of his childredn. The last year of his life was spent with Mrs. Milholland in a little home at Mead Colorado, near his daughter, Loura. His long life of service and sacrifice came to a close at Mead, April 26, 1919 at the age of 78 and he lies buried in the Longmont Colorado cemetary. NANCY (ROGERS) MILHOLLAND. Nancy E. Rogers was born in Menard County Illinois March 6, 1849. She was united in marriage to Rev. J. H. Milhoilland, pastor of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church of Colesburg Iowa, in 1874 and served with him in his first pastorate. During her long life as a minister's wife she labored faithfully and well, both to the community and her family, always giving freely her service to others. A Mother, indeed, to her children. For eight years after the death of her husband she made her home with her daughters, Loura and Grace, answering the "last call" February 7, 1927 while with her daughter, Mrs. A. L. Riche, at St. Paul Minnesota, being 78 years of age. While the sun of a February day sank slowly to its rest behind Long's Peak, her body was laid beside that of her husband in the Longmont Cemetery. Her life was most charming, her days were well spent, but the charm of her presence was felt when she went. Here in a beautiful cemetary, almost within the shadow of the Rocky Mountains, they lie awaiting the "Great Day"." Another source of information for John Hardy M. and his desendents came from Homer Gammill, 16026 Nicklaus Lane, Sun City, Ariz, 85351 in a letter dated March 14, 1980, written to Ortis and Frances (Milholland) Bucher. In his letter he said that this stuff (info) was what his Dad (Finis Gammill) did for Aunt Grace (Milholland) years ago. Much of my information on both John Hardy Milholland family and the families of Thomas Milholland came from Florence Milholland, a descendant of Adam Richey Milholland. NOTES FOUND IN H. R.

Also dated many girls, went to Church, prayer meetings, etc. During the spring of 1869, he seems to have struck up a friendship with Will Rogers and in July went home with the Rogers family from church. A few days later he and Will went home together and he went on to his home "via Miss N." on Sunday, Aug 1. He says, "Attended church at Fancy Prairie in company with Miss Nannie," on Aug 10 he took Miss Jennie to singing. In and with all these activities he found time to see or write Miss Lilly now and then. On Aug 18 he went with Miss Nannie for supper and on the 21st spent the night with the Rogers family. On Sept 2, called on Miss N, went to the brick Ch. to prayer meeting. All night at my friend N's. Sept 7 1869 - "attended Chapel service at 8:30 am. Geometry Class at 9 and Natural Philosophy class at 11. at 12, home to dinner." "at 3:30 pm. attended class in first Greek-Book. Studied slightly till about 9 pm when Arch and I retired for the night". Well so it goes, back to the old College grind. The die was cast for "Miss Nannie". Showed her heels to the other gals from then on. On June 17, 1975 (must be 1875) he found time to come back to Irish Grove where his "friend Miss N." married him at a big wedding throun by her maternal Grandfather." 1860 Census, Indiana, Benton county, Pine twp, Series M653, Roll 244, Page 506.
