Sleep at -Hiddenite Wednesday
Morning Where He Had Gone to
Recuperate His Health.
The people of High Point were
shocked yesterday to learn of the
death of Mr.. j, H. Mills which oc.
Cured at 6 o'clock, A. NJ, at Hid
denite, where he had gone with
members of his family, hoping that
the water and rest would improve
his condition.
Deceased was born at the old
Mills farm between here and
Greensboro, July 23rd, 1849, being
the son of James and Elizabeth
Mills. March 2, 1875, he was mar
ried to Miss Cornelia A. Walker.
To this union were born four child
rem, three of whom survive, Messrs.
H. A. and j. E. Mills and Mrs. w.
j. Armfeld, Jr. For number of
years MIR. Mills was one. of the
leading merchants and at the time
of his death was one of High Point s
most successful business men, CAPT.
talists and manufacturers. Mr..
Mills was easily one of High Points
foremost citizens, and was always
ready TO lend helping hand to
worthy people. There are many
who owe their advancement in the
business world to his kindly offices.
A man who had sympathy for his
fellow man and there aressCores who
will today mourn their dead bene-
factor. In short he was an ideal
citizen in many respects and his city =,
county and state have been made
better through his life, which is full
Of kind deeds and noble purposes.
The remains arrived last night on

be held from Washington street M.
