Mr. Millichamp had a great liking for the out-of-doors, particularly the rocky country of North Muskoka, where he went for frequent outings, as well as hunting and fishing when work on the farm permitted. He is survived by his wife, his son Sibley and his daughter, Jean, as well as a brother, John Millichamp, of Vancouver and a sister Mrs. Elliott (Margaret) of Cleveland, Ohio.
