• Obituary: Wilcox Progressive Era [newspaper], Thursday, March 19, 1908, Wilcox Co., AL. ⁹⁷ Death of Mrs. Thomas B. McMillan.
It will grieve the early friends of this estimable lady to learn, that she
died in Knoxville, Tenn., last Saturday, where her remains were interred beside
her husband, the late Thomas B. McMillan, for many years in the past, the
Circuit Court Clerk of Wilcox County. About 15 years ago, with her husband, she
removed to Knoxville. Her husband preceeded her to the great beyond several
years since. At her death, Mrs. McMillan was about 78 years of age. Her maiden
name was Miss Frances Anderson, and she was a daughter of the late General
William Anderson of Tennessee, and who was at one time, United States Senator
from that State. Her early married life was passed in Camden, where she and her
estimable husband, lived respected and esteemed by our people. Her surviving
children are A. V. McMillan, of Camden, D. T. McMillan, of Knoxville, and a
married daughter in Knoxville, Mrs. J. S. Robins, and several; grand children.
To the family, our sympathies are extended in their sorrow.

• Obituary: Knoxville, Tenn., Journal and Tribune: Knoxville, Knox Co., TN. ⁹⁸ "Mrs. Fannie V. McMillan, widow of the late Thomas B. McMillan, whose death
occurred a year ago, died Saturday morning at one o'clock, aged seventy-seven
years. The deceased leaves three children, A. V. McMillan, of Camden, Alabama,
David T. McMillan, of this city and Mrs. J. S. Robins, of this city.
Mrs. McMillan's death followed a period of suffering. Twenty-six months ago
she suffered a stroke of paralysis, but during most of the time since she has
been perfectly conscious until a few days since. During all of the time she did
not murmur or complain. She was gentle in her disposition, and led an exemplary
Christian life. She was charitable to a fault. She had hosts of friends.
The deceased was the daughter of Alexander Anderson and grand daughter of
Joseph Anderson, both of whom were members of the United States senate from
Tennessee, and this is one of two instances in history where both a father and
his son served in the United States senate. The other instance occurred in the
Adams family of Massachussetts. The living brother and sisters, of Mrs.
McMillan are Judge David D. Anderson, of the criminal and circuit courts of
this county; Mrs. J. Foster Scott, Sr., and Miss C. G. Anderson.
The funeral services will be held this afternoon at 2:30 o'clock from the
family residence, Scott avenue and Central street. Rev. T. M. Lowry, pastor of
the Third Presbyterian church of which the deceased had been a member for many
years, will officiate. The interment will follow in Old Gray cemetery.
Mrs. McMillan, the deceased, was born in Jefferson county, but at the age of
six or seven years removed to this city with her distinguished father.
Both the criminal and chancery courts were adjourned yesterday out of respect
to Mrs. McMillan, whose death was early announced. Mr. David T. McMillan, the
son, who lives in this city, is the deputy clerk and master of this county.
The pall-bearers will be: Messrs. Jno. M. Brooks, Eugene Wilson, John M.
Dailey, A. B. Bauman, Ed. Lennon, Chas. Roth and George Williams."

Frances married Thomas Bell McMillan, son of David McMillan and Martha Bell, in Jan 1852. (Thomas Bell McMillan was born on 6 Jan 1831 in Wilcox Co., AL and died on 23 Sep 1906 in Knoxville, Knox Co., TN.)
