| Notes |
- William Henry Millikin (1853–1931) was born April 3, 1853 in Verango County, Pennsylvania. Early in his life he worked as a school teacher, but with the advent of the oil boom he became actively involved in that business, at first in Pennsylvania and southern New York, but eventually relocating to Ohio. Initially living in Lima, Ohio, Millikin moved to Wood County, Ohio where he prospered with his own oil wells and holding leases for additional property.
In addition, Millikin was a director of the First National Bank of Bowling Green, built a major hotel in Bowling Green at the corner of Main and Wooster Streets, and also was active in
local politics on city council. He was married in 1884 to Alice Delphine Davie from Bolivar, NY.
