MARK MILLIKIN, M. D., of the firm of Millikin & Millikin, was born in Fairfield Township, near Hamilton, March 23, 1868, and is the only living son of Dr. Dan and Amanda (Hunter) Millikin. His boyhood after seven years of age was passed in Hamilton. After attending the high school for three years, he entered the Johns Hopkins University at Baltimore, taking a chemical and biological course preparatory to the study of medicine. After three years spent in that institution he commenced to read medicine, and in the fall of the same year (1889) entered Miami Medical College, Cincinnati, from which he was graduated April 1, 1892, with the degree of Doctor of Medicine.
