Cairo Messenger, July 12, 1907
Mr. W. J. Mills Passes Away
The above named prominent gentleman who died a few days since at his home near 
Pavo, had many relatives in Cairo.  The following article relative to the 
passing away of Mr. Mills, we clip from the Moultrie Observer of Friday, July 
5th.

"The deceased was fifty eight years old and a well known citizen of Thomas 
county.  He was the father of a large family of children and his death has 
brought to them and the devoted wife very much sorrow and loss.

Mr. Mills was sick only two days, he had been complaining for several days and 
had done but little work.  Friday morning he was forced to take his bed and 
grew worse rapidly.  Saturday afternoon the members of the family out of town 
were telegraphed for and they were not able to reach his bedside before death 
claimed him at eight o'clock.

The funeral occurred on Sunday afternoon at Salem church near Pavo.  There was 
a large concourse of people who gathered to pay the last rites to a noble 
citizen whose death was generally mourned."
