W.E. MILL has built himself a new loom room, his old quarters
becoming too cramped for the amount of business he done. The new
room is much more convenient and better lighted than the old.

Obituary.
Died-August 1, 1901, of heart failure, Mr. Barnett MILLS, aged 65
years, 6 months and 6 days. Mr. MILLS death was of a sudden
nature as noted in these columns at the time. He had been
assisting his son-in-law, C.A. HARBACK, in stacking grain, and
while feeling badly in the early evening thot he would be able to
reach home and get medical assistance, but he was really worse
than he thot, and death overtook him on the road to town. Barnett
MILLS was born in Indiana, January 25, 1836. In the year 1855 He
with his widowed mother, came to Iowa. Three years later, on
March 6, 1858, he was united in marriage to Martha D. GRIFFITH.
To them seven children were born, three sons and four daughters,
all of whom are living and were present to mourn with the wife
and mother at the funeral. Mr. MILLS was of a family of twelve
children, his parents and seven brothers and sisters having gone
on before. One brother, Milton MILLS, of Dexter, Iowa, with his
wife, were present at the funeral. His children are Marion MILLS
of Spencer; Walter MILLS, Leavenworth, Kans.; Minnie HARRISON and
Emma YATES, Storm Lake; and Chas. MILLS, Luella HARBACKk and
Harriett THORP, of Schaller. Mr. MILLS came to Sac county at an
early day and was one of the older settlers. About nine years ago
he was converted and united with the Christian church at this
place retaining his membership until the time of his death. He
was a loving and indulgent husband and father, retiring in his
nature, and above all strictly honest and upright with his fellow
men, and it can be truly said of him that a good and upright man
has gone from our midst. . .
