Alice Warren Milligan was the second child and daughter of Thomas Stuart and Louisa Warren Milligan. She was born on December 18, 1850, in a humble home located five miles west of Gosport and a quarter of a mile south of Hudson Hill cemetery. The family's life revolved around the centers of "church" and school, her father being a Presbyterian missionary from Pennsylvania who followed his brothers to Indiana in the 1830's. Alice was educated at home as well as in the district schools. She went on to college where she earned a degree in teaching Latin and Algebra. She was well respected by her students and the community. She was known as "Aunt Alice" to all. Alice also taught a former slave from North Carolina, Luke Phillips, mathematice as well as reading and writing. Luke had come to Indiana with his father,Peter Phillips, about 1890. Luke worked as a handyman for Alice's brother, Albert Milligan. Luke's children all went on to get an education. One son became a teacher, and a grandson became a doctor. Luke's youngest daughter, Francis Phillips, still resides in Owen County at the age of ninety-four. At the age of seventy-eight Alice accompanied her eighty year old sister to Europe in 1928, just prior to the Second World War. Her accounts of their travels were published in the Spencer newspaper. Alice never married. She took care of her elderly mother the last years of her mother's life. Following her mother's death she went to live with her brother, James, until his death. Alice died in 1945 at the age of ninety five. She is buried in Hudson Hill Cemetery with her parents and brother. CONTRIBUTED BY: Diane Hitchcock-Owens
