Millington Castor Oil Factory and Millington Pioneers
A local history recounts the Millington family in St Charles who built a castor oil factory on Main Street and grew herbs for medicine. It notes coal discovery, the first apothecary, a silk venture, and postmaster roles, with burial sites and a push to memorialize the Millington physicians.
