Dear List, This obit below is NOT for my Mills family. My Mills family is Gideon Mills b. 1798 NY, d 1870 Fulton Co IL, his son William H. Mills b. 1827 NY, d. ??? This is another MIlls family line of the same area that my Mills family lived at, but is not the same family group. Hope this will help someone else. Canton, Fulton Co IL is just West of Peoria, IL.
