He stayed for nine years before he was forced to resign in 1898 due to a controversy with the board. He went on to study law and was admitted to the bar in 1901. On November 5, 1903, Milne was at a Masonic group meeting in Waterville, New York where he gave a speech. Soon after finishing his address, he collapsed and died.
