NOTES FROM HOVER
DEATH OF MRS. WIN. MILLS
KEENLY FELT AT HOVER
Young Woman Was Leader in Com
/. munity Activities and Will be
. Greatly Missed

Hover has suffered a loss in the
death of Mrs. VIM. Mills that will be
felt for years to come. She was a
most unusal young woman. Full OF
life and energy, remarkably bright
and very well educated, she always
made the most of her rare talents,
carrying happiness and joy with her
wherever she went. Mere mention OF
the many activities in which she was
engaged will indicate somewhat how
her loss will be felt, for it is excep-
tional to find one so young who is will
ing and able to take the leadership as
did Mrs. Mills. She led the choir,
taught young peoples class, took an
active interest in all church affairs,
and in every move for the betterment
of the community. For years she was
the Hover correspondent for the Cour-
ier- Reporter and it is characteristic
of her that her column was always
good-always among the best in the
paper.
Before her marriage, Mrs. Mills was
Myrtle Lillian Hampton. She was
born in Akron, Iowa, August %, 1891
The family moved to Warroad, Mimi,
in July, 1902, and in 1908 moved to
Wenatchee and from there to Hover.
In 1914 she was married to William
Mills. She is survived by her husband
her little three-year old daughter Luz
ellie, her father and mother, Mr.. and
Mrs. ]. E. Hampton, of Hover, and a
brother and a sister.
AS little child she was very obed-
lent. To know a right was to do it;
to see wrong was to shun it, and her
beautiful life will live long in the
memory of host of friends.
Indeed the loss to the community is
beyond the estimate for such leaders
among the young people are very rare,
and it is doubtful if Hover will ever
have another which can fill her place
in the community.
