Jackson Sentinel, Maquoketa, Iowa, December 12, 1885.

Rev. S. F. Millikan-

After twelve years continual service as pastor of the Congregational church in Maquoketa, Rev. S. F. Millikan tenders his resignation to take effect in March. Rev. Millikan has received calls from Rochester, Minnesota, and Springfield, Missouri. The latter place he thinks most favorably of as its collegiate institutions will afford desired educational advantages for his children. During his pastorship in Maquoketa he has been instrumental in increasing the membership and influence of the Congregational society and has seen the old church edifice replaced by a handsome new structure. His leave taking will be regretted by many warm friends.
