Born in Prince Edward County on 26 October 1855, second of five children born to Nathaniel DeMill and Wealthy Ann Palmer, he worked on the family farm until 1880 when he moved to Manitoba, working for 18 months in a general store operated at Carman by Rodmond Palen Roblin. He then took up farming in the vicinity of Carman. In February 1912, he was appointed a police magistrate at Carman. In 1882, he married Jennie Dunn (?-?) and they had three children: Nathaniel DeMill, Annie DeMill, and Alfred DeMill. He served on the Carman School Board. He died in September 1928 and was buried in the Carman Cemetery.
