Early life, family, and education
[edit]Millspaugh was born on April 12, 1848, in Nichols, New York, the son of Cornelius Madden Millspaugh and Elvira Rosebrook.[1] His family was of Dutch descent, the family name being changed from von Miltzbach to Millspaugh when New Amsterdam was taken over by the English in 1664. He moved with his family to Ithaca, New York, when he was still a child and then to Faribault, Minnesota, in 1857. While there, he attended the parish schools and was under the tutorship of the Reverend James Lloyd Breck. He then attended Shattuck School from where he graduated in 1870. He also studied at Seabury Divinity School, graduating on June 20, 1873.

He initially served as a missionary in northeastern Minnesota, after which he was dean of Trinity Cathedral (Omaha, Nebraska) from 1876 to 1886. Between 1886 and 1894 he was rector of St. Paul's Church, Minneapolis, Minnesota, and then dean of Grace Cathedral in Topeka, Kansas.[2]
