OBITUARY. Joseph Milton Mills died

OBITUARY.-Joseph Milton Mills died
at the family residence of Mr.. H. B.
Fisher IN this city at 6 o'clock this
Wednesday morning, Sept. 90. 1885.
aged 30 years, 10 months and 20 days.
He was born Nov. 3, 1854, and was
son of Judge Mills by his first wife, who
was sister of Mr.. Jerry Warner The
death of this promising young man is
peculiarly sad, IS he leaves, besides
fond father, sister and two brothers,
n bride of a few months His course
from boyhood to manhood has been
marked by lofty purposes and high
minded ambitions, aud the poignant
grief of his nearer and dearer ones IS
supplemented by the sincere sorrow of
all who enjoyed his acquaintance. He
attended school here and partially
fitted for college, completing his pre-
paration with two years at Beloit He
entered the State University in 1873
and, graduating with high honors in
the class of rs, began the study of law
with his father and was admitted TO the
bar here. He practiced with his father
until the spring of 1881, when he went
to Gunnison, Colorado, and entered
upon his profession there. His scholarly
attaInments, thorough mastery of his
profession and brilliant powers of ora
tory won him success from the begin
ming, and certainly the world never held
out brighter prospects to any young
man or promise of richer rewards. His
return here and marriage to Miss Edith
Fisher on May IL, 1885, is of so recent a
date as to be remembered by all. On
their return to Colorado his health.
which had been poor since last January,
began failing rapidly, and becoming
convinced that il was iniudicious to re-
main there, he soon after returned to
Lancaster His disease, diabetes, proved
incurable, and though he kept up his
courage to the last, even walking out
last Thursday and riding on Friday,
he took to his bed on Saturday and
sank rapidly. An autopsy will be held
this afternoon by DIS. Barber, Hassell
and Strong. His brothers are j. Warner
Mills, lawyer of Lake City, Colo;
George Mills, the first and oldest civil
engineer of Ouray county. Colo, and
his sister is Mrs. J. S. Anderson, edi-
tress of the Lake Shore Times at Mani
towoe, this state. The hour for the
funeral is not known at this writing.
