His Mission Peak land purchase took place in 1855, and he immediately built a home, a barn and a carriage house. On this farm he and his wife, Caroline, had and raised five children. Like the other children from the surrounding farms, they attended the one-room school house that stood about one to two miles southeast of the Peak. In 1856 he planted a vineyard on the fifty-acre area of the small valley below the cliffs and engaged in general farming. In the 1890's, however, the grapes were decimated in a blight that hit the area when a phylloxera infestation killed many of the original vines. In 1870 he sold his part of the Higuera Rancho to Edward J. Palmer. Artifacts left on the property by the Millard's (wagon wheels, hubs, bean pots, etc.) were given as gifts by a later owner to friends that visited often. A few items have been passed down to McClure family members. A fire poker, a brick made by the Millard's, a piece of china, a silver pitcher, metal pieces from Mr. Millard's blacksmith shop and a few other items are interesting clues to the quality, independence and industriousness of the early pioneers and farmers.
