said, not had a physician for 20 years, and his robust physical condition seemed to have withstood the strain of the campaign without any perceptible injury. Shortly before the time of assembling the Legislature, in January 1895, Millard was ill with an attack of influenza, which developed into pneumonia. He was ill at home for about two months and then went to Indio, in hope of recovering his health. Afterward, he returned to Los Angeles, and during the latter part of June went East to the home of his father, who then lived in the northern part of Michigan. In the first week of September, he returned to California accompanied by his cousin, Jay B. Millard (1854–1936), principal of the Spring-Street School. He remained in Northern California, spending most of the time at Shasta Springs near Dunsmuir, until the afternoon of Sunday, October 20, when he left Dunsmuir for Southern California. During the time of his illness and death, William T. Jeter was his replacement and served out Millard's term of office. As Lieutenant Governor of California, Millard was ex officio Regent of the University of California. Spencer G. Millard died at age 39 in Los Angeles. The Lieutenant Governor was given a State Funeral on October 27, 1895. He is interred in Angelus-Rosedale Cemetery.
