V. "Saunie" Mills, 71, widely known blacksmith, farmer and merchant of this county, died unexpectedly Monday night at his home south of Exie. Although he had been in ill health for over one year he was able to look after his farm and store and only last Friday attended stock sales at Greensburg. He suddenly became ill while eating supper Sunday night and died the following night at 7 o'clock. Death was caused by a stroke of paralysis and heart trouble. He spent the greater part of his life in the community in which he died, having for a number of years operated a blacksmith's shop and general store at Liletown. He later moved his business on the Greensburg Edmonton Highway, where he owned a large farm. He was a man of sterling qualities, always attended strictly to his own business, giving constructive council only when approached by a friend or neighbor. He maintained a good home, lived a life of daily toil and was a kind land loving husband and father. Funeral services ! were held at 2 P. M. Wednesday at Greasy Creek Baptist Church with burial in the church cemetery. Rev. L. A. Pendleton was in charge of the last rites. Mr. Mills is survived by his wife, Mrs. Louella Baker Mills, and the following children, Mrs. Stewart Whitlock, Mrs. Frank Sullivan, Mrs. Orvil Judd and Miss Vera Mills. The sons are Arvin Mills, Clifton Mills and Ralph Mills. Twenty-two grand children also survive. Obituaries of Green Co. Ky. Vol. 2, compiled by Eunice Montgomery Wright, p. 135 Father: Charles O.
