Notes
HENRY MILLS, son of Seth and Rebecca Mills, was born near Georgetown,
Vermilion Co, Illinois, March 23, 1830. He lived continuously in the same
township for sixty nine years, removing then to Newberg, Oregon, which
has since been his home.
One of his earliest recollections was of knowing the love and
power of God in his heart as he walked in the meadow one day when about
six years old. And from that day on thru his long life he never lived
without this divine love and power. He was a birthwright member of the
Friends Church, and was always found in all the church services unless
prevented by unusual illness or other extraordinary circumstances.
His father and only brother died when he was just entering young
manhood, leaving him the care of his mother and sisters. By his habits of
industry and economy he was able to provide for his family, and to have
the means to help every worthy cause or person coming to his notice.
Members of his family can remember almost no instance when he refused to
so minister where opportunity reached him.
Being brought up in a frontier country he had little chance for an
education, but by constant observance, good reading, well chosen
associations, he had a well informed mind, and a most unusual interest in
educational institutions, especially those under the care of the Friends
Church.
In the various activities of his long and useful life, his work
alone for Pacific College was a great life-work. From the very infancy of
the college, he had been on of its strongest supporters. At times had he
not come to its rescue with his hundreds and his thousands, it seemed
that the college doors must have closed. In so doing he has builded an
imperishable monument for himself in the hearts and character of the
young people of his generation. "And their works do follow them."
On Nov. 10, 1852 he was united in marriage with Mary Folger, and
this union was maintained almost blameless for more than sixty-six years.
To them were born eight children, of whom one died in infancy. The
others: Dr. Aaron Mills, and Zimri Mills, of Parma, Idaho; Seth Mills of
Greenleaf, Idaho, Alpheus R. Mills, Mrs. levi E. Lewis, Mrs. Justin
Haworth of Springbrook, Oregon; and the youngest son Allen G. Mills, of
Chicago, Illinois.
Surviving are the wife, seven children, twenty-eight
grandchildren, and twenty-three great granchildren.
(The above was furnished by Dr. Mary E. Lewis)
Early Life of Henry Mills, written by Marietta Lewis,no date, written
with pencil, almost faded out. It gives early life of Henry Mills.
When I was almost twelve years old father had means to build a
good house for us. I was born in a fairly good house in a crountry
neighborhood called Sharon, about two miles south of Georgetown, on the
frm father bought soon after his marriage. We six older children were
born there. We had hills that to us children were the biggest hills in
the world, tho could I seen them now they would be very small. We had a
good apple orchard, I especially remember the wine apples that ripened in
the fall. Later in the winter we ate white Winter Pearmains. I remember
we had beech trees at one edge of a large field, and how we scrambled
after the nuts when the first frosts brought them to the ground. We also
had a maple grove and father made delicious syrup and sugar each spring.
When I was six years old father sold this farm and bought another in a
neighborhood about three miles east of this. I think he made the change
in location because the meeting house, where we attended meeting and
"First Day School" was in this
place where we made our new home. Elwood neighborhood. Our house here was
old and not large enough for our increasing family.
Father was fairly prosperous for a farmer and in five years had
enough means to build a better home. He hired competent men, made and
burned bricks, and built a large substantial house. We moved into this
house a few days after I was twelve years old (1870).
He also raised sorghum and in the fall would hitch a horse to a
pole ten feet long, one end of which was fastened to the mill, and he
would drive the horse round and round the mill. He would put the stalks
of cane between the two rollers, and as the rollers were turned by the
horse going round the mill the juice was squeezed out. Father would put
the juice into long flat pans, and boil it until it was sweet sorghum
molasses. He had a place called a furnace, which was a wall built , about
two feet high, and shaped like
a letter U laid flat on the ground. He would have a good pile of wood,
and would start a fire under the pan, fire enough to keep the juice...
(here the paper suddenly breaks off)
Note: the Brick House built by Henry about 1870, near Georgetown,
Illinois, and lived in by his family until about 1899, was still standing
and in use in 1953.
