WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 21. 



Shelburne has sustained a great loss 

 in the death of Gilbert N. McMillan, 

 and Gorham as well, for he was active- 

 ly interested in the upbuilding and bet- 

 terment of both towns. He was a citi- 

 zen of the best type. He was one of 

 the early advocates of good roads, as 

 he was of every proposition that would 

 benefit the community in general. He 

 never held public office, and did not 

 take an active interest in politics, 

 though he did attend the republican 

 state convention of 1908 as a delegate 

 from Shelburne. He was a member of 

 the Gorham Improvement society, and 

 its first vice-president. No worthy 

 cause appealed to him in vain. Such a 

 citizen is an asset to any community. 

 The people of this section will hold in 

 pleasant memory this kindly, genial, 

 public spirited man. 



Gilbert N. McMillan. 



Gilbert Newberry McMillan of Shel- 

 burne, and well known in Gorham, died 

 at the Corey Hill hospital in Brookline,

 uated from Princeton university in the 

 class of 1890. For a number of years

 up his residence in Shelburne, where he 

 spent his summers. For a time he 

 spent his winters in Pinehurst,.N. C, 

 but later made Cambridge, Mass., his 

 winter home that his children might 

 have the advantage of superior educa- 

 tional facilities.

 ter of Charles Endicott of Detroit, 

 Mich., who survives, also three child- 

 ren, Ellen Dyar, Andrew and John En- 

 dicott McMillan.
