OBITUARY. The funeral of Dr. C. W. McMILLIN, which took place yesterday at 11 A. M., was attended by a large concourse of citizens, including members of the Masonic fraternity here, and from the Lodges at Glendale and Wheatland, headed by the City Band. The religious exercises were conducted by Elder H. R. Pritchard. Thus has passed away one of Washington’s leading physicians, a good citizen, kind husband and father. Dr. McMILLIN was highly respected and much loved by all who knew him, attentive to the sick, full of that kindness of heart and sympathetic feeling which always endears a physician to the sick and their friends. His arduous duties, performed with alacrity at all hours, and in all kinds of weather wore on his constitution, and in the prime of life, with a broad field of usefulness before him, he was thus prematurely cut off. His remains were laid in Oak Grove Cemetery by the side of a beloved son, to sleep until resurrection morn. Indeed how true, that “In the midst of life, we are in death.
