Hugh D. Mills, of town of Window,
son Of the late Hugh R. Mills, died at the
home of his sister, Mrs. Allen Mollison,
in Austin, Friday morning, June s, 1884.
Hugh Mills was born in Delaware county,
N. Y, Feb. IL, 1881 Moved to st. Law
renee county, N. T., in 1884, and when
about 20 years of age removed to Ohio
where he lived 8 years; then came to
Iowa in 1856, and finally to Minnesota
in 1856, when he pre-empted the land
where his farm now lies, in the town of
Window. He was married March 19,
1850, in Brownsville, to Miss Addie Sar.
geant. His loving children are Edwin,
Eliza, Hugh, Jennie, Charles and Harry.
His sisters are Mrs. Allen Mollison, Mrs.
John Mills and Mrs. DeForest Brighton
The news of the death of Hugh Mills,
though not altogether unexpected pro-
duced a feeling of profound sorrow in the
community where he has been known 80
long and favorably. His reputation as a
man and citizen was above reproach
All who have ever known him bear spon-
taneeus testimony to his genial spirit,
neighborly qualities, personal integrity
and peace-loving disposition. He was a
self-made, honest and noble man. For
many years, he has been CONSTANT and
highly esteemed member. of the Baptist
church in Austin. BY singular coinci-
denco he died in the same house where
his mother died three weeks before, and
in the same family where his father died
many years ago, Allen Mollison's. His
funeral services were held at the M. e.
j church Sunday n m. at 81 O'clock.
