Additional Comments

Located in Section 32 of Oak Grove Cemetery, this stone monument was erected c.1900. It consists of a rectangular, stepped base that serves as a pedestal for a rectangular block featuring rounded columns with Corinthian capitals at each corner. This is topped by a pyramidal cap upon which sits a square pedestal that supports an approximately life-size stone statue of a robed woman with a raised right arm; a large, garlanded cross rises to the height of the figure’s shoulder and is supported by her left arm. The monument was designed by an unknown artist and installed at Oak Grove Cemetery as a memorial to the family of Alexander and Sarah (Parker) McMillan; Alexander McMillan (1825-1901) was a founder of the Black River Logging Company and served terms as mayor of La Crosse, county commissioner, and state assemblyman.
