McMILLAN, Hugh
was appointed Judge of the County Court of the county of Victoria on the
3rd of February, 1906. Judge McMillan is one of the sons of the late Hugh
McMillan, of the township of Erin, who emigrated from Scotland with his father,
the late Donald McMillan, and settled in Erin in the early twenties. The
subject of this sketch was born in Erin in 1849, and after twenty years on the
farm, attended Rockwood Academy, and subsequently taught school for a couple of
years in Erin. After spending several years in commercial pursuits, he took his
law matriculation work at the Guelph Collegiate Institute, and afterwards with
Johnson and McKinnon, til he took his final examination at Osgoode Hall in 1882.
On his own account, in partnership with the late G. W. Field, and since 1897, with Mr. C. L. Dunbar, under the firm name of McMillan & Dunbar, built up a large and successful law practice. Judge McMillan was for twelve years Secretary of the South Wellington Reform Association, and for six years its President. In 1882, he was appointed by the Guelph City Council to the Board of Education, as one of the Collegiate Institute Trustees. He has served in that capacity continuously during that time, and was for two years Chairman of the Board. From: Historical Atlas of the County of Wellington, Ontario.
