"Mrs. Joseph Mills who died yesterday morning at her home on Big Vein Hill, was 
born in Mt. Savage in 1844, and was married to Joseph Mills in 1861. Her husband 
and nine children survive her. They are Mrs. Annie O'Malley and Mrs. Sarah Bowers, 
of Morgantown, W. Va.; Mrs. Margaret Burkey of Cumberland; Mrs. Mary Jane Ricker 
and Mrs. Clara Burns and Miss Catherine Mills, all of Lonaconing, save the latter, 
who resides in Midland. The funeral will take place Friday morning with a solemn 
requiem mass at St. Mary's Church. Interment will be made in the Catholic cemetery 
at Frostburg. Deceased was a good woman in every sense of the word. She reared a 
large family in the way they should go and they have not strayed from it. The Mills 
are old residents of Lonaconing and good people, every one."   (I wonder why she 
was not buried withe her husband?)

"Death of Aged Lady-Mrs. Catherine Mills, aged 63 years, wife of Mr. Joseph Mills, 
Sr., died at her home on Big Vein Hill, Wednesday, New Year's morning at 4 o'clock. 
The cause of death was paralysis, from which dread disease Mrs. Mills had long been 
a sufferer. Deceased was born at Mt. Savage, where she was married to Mr. Joseph 
Mills in 1861. Mrs. Mills, with her husband, had been a resident of Lonaconing for 
upwards of 40 years and raised a family of 4 sons and 6 daughters. There are also 
38 living grandchildren. The sons are Messrs. William, Joseph, Jr., and Gory E. 
Mills, of this place, and Mr. James Oscar Mills, of Midland; the daughters are, Mrs. 
Mary Ricker, Mrs. Clara Burns, and Miss Katherine Mills, all of Lonaconing; Mrs. 
Annie O'Malley and Mrs. Sarah Bowers, of Morgantown, W. Va., and Mrs. Margaret Burkey, 
of Cumberland. The late Mrs. Mills suffered one of two light paralytic strokes last 
summer, but it was not until two weeks ago that the case became serious. Two weeks 
ago Mrs. Mills suffered from a very severe stroke and was obliged to go to bed, from 
which she was never able to rise again. The funeral took place Friday morning."
