MILLS. Died, in this place, on Thursday morning, Dec. 9, 1880, Mrs. ABIGAIL MILLS, in the 87th year of her age.
The deceased was a daughter of David Todd, who at an early day settled on and cleared the tract of land adjoining town, on which the present summer resort known as “Belmout” is located. Her husband was William Mills, who came here from Wales about the year 1802, being quite a boy, and died only a few years ago. Mrs. Mills, with perhaps one exception, was the oldest lady in town, and during her long and blameless life enjoyed in an eminent degree the sincere respect and esteem of all her friends and acquaintances. A married daughter, Mrs. Morgan Hughes, of this place, and three sons—Wm. Mills, of Ebensburg, David Mills, of Gallitzin, and E.J. Mills, of Kansas—survive her. Peace to her ashes. |
