Kate Irish Mills, 92, of 306 Union Street, Ionia, died Wednesday, December 30,

Mills was graduated from the Ionia High school in 1885 which was the 
fourteenth class in its history and had 16 members.  Through the years she had 
accumulated a valuable collection of antiques.  Included was one of the first 
pianos to be brought to Ionia.  She was a member of the First Presbyterian 
church of Ionia and the Ionia Garden Club.

Surviving is one sister, Mrs. Bessie M. Johnson.
