Lee Mills 1872 - 1953

Lee was the son of Thomas Mills (1825-1908) and Lucretia Barton Mills (1828-1910). He was born 28 March 1872 in Posey County, Indiana, USA.

Lee married Sarah Eliza Wolfinger (1870-1932) in Illinois on 16 December 1894. They had the following children:

Neva Ann Mills (1897-1995)
Florence Marie Mills (1907-1995)
Lawrence Morene Mills (1907-1984)

Lee next married Anna Sanders Glover (1887-1980) in 1940. No children are known to have been born to this marriage.

Lee first showed up in the 1880 census in Robinson Township of Posey County, along with his parents, older siblings who had not left home, and one nephew, Lawrence (his brother Felix's son). (census image here) (View neighbors in HTML)

After his marriage to Sarah Wolfinger in 1894, the couple and their daughter Neva Ann showed up in Asbury Township of Gallatin County, Illinois, for the 1900 census. Lee and his family were the next family down on the census page from his parents Thomas and Lucretia. (census image here) (View neighbors in HTML)

1910 found the family still in Asbury Township, but the birth of their twins Florence and Lawrence added two more heads to the family. (census image here)

Neva married Norvin Murphy in 1915 so she doesn't show up with the rest of the family in the 1920 census, although she and Norvin were also living in Asbury Township. (census image here)

Lawrence and Florence Marie were still at home in 1930. (census image here)

Sarah died in 1932 and was buried at Old Cottonwood Cemetery, Cottonwood, Asbury Township. Lawrence married Retta Woodruff in 1936 and Florence Marie married Warren Millspaugh in 1937.

Lee married Anna Glover in 1940. He died on 25 January 1953 and is buried in Old Cottonwood next to Sarah and near his parents and most of his siblings.
