DANIEL GUY MILLS, M. D.
Dr. Daniel Guy Mills, who for fifteen years has engaged in the general practice of medicine at McCallsburg, progressing continuously by reason of his broadening experience and wide reading and study, was born in Ottawa, La Salle county, Illinois, July 7, 1861, but from the age of five years has been a resident of Story county.
It was in 1866 that his parents, Edward Clark and Levantia D. (Guy) Mills, came to Iowa. They were natives of New York, the former born at Cohoes and the latter at Guilford. Mr. Mills was of English lineage, his parents having reached Cohoes only a short period before his birth. He was a son of Daniel and Sarah Mills, who after living for some time in the Empire state removed westward to Ottawa, Illinois, when Edward C. Mills was a youth of seventeen years.

The family numbered eight children : Daniel G.; William E., who is living in Maxwell, Iowa; Ida, who died at the age of eighteen months; Lela A., the wife of L. E. Byers, who resides at Sante Fe on the Isle of Pines, in the West Indies; Frank W., a practicing physician at Ottumwa, Iowa; Charles C., who is located in Oklahoma; Rose A., the wife of John E. Douglas, of Polk county ; and Levantia D., also residing at the Isle of Pines, in the West Indies.
Reared upon the old homestead farm in Indian Creek township, Dr. Mills had the usual experiences of farm boys, working in the fields when not occupied with the duties of the schoolroom and learning many lessons from close contact with nature.
