Born into the medical profession, he ventured into diverse fields. Recognizing the potential of Decatur, Millikin invested heavily in land, profiting from the countyâs burgeoning population. He established the Millikin Bank (today the Millikin National Bank) in 1860. Although initially unsuccessful, Millikinâs perseverance turned the venture into an enduring cornerstone of Decatur's economy. A philanthropist as well as a businessman, Millikin donated generously to religious institutions, hospitals, and education.
