Death of Job Mills 

Job Mills, 76 years old, a native of Wales, died at 6:30 o'clock yesterday morning at his 
home in East Ward, Ebensburg, where he had lived since 1880.  After Mr. Mills came to 
America in 1861, he resided in this country for nine years then returned to Wales where 
he married Miss Anna Pierce of Liverpool, England.  He and his wife came to America 
and located in Columbus, O., where Mrs. Mills died in 1873.  Two children died in 
infancy and one, Annie J., wife of Miles Clymens of Ebensburg, survives.  In 1877 Mr. 
Mills was united in marriage with Mary J. Tibbott of Ebensburg, who also survives and 
has been an invalid for a number of years.

While in Columbus, Mr. Mills was employed at the State Insane Asylum.  In Ebensburg 
he was gardner and sexton at the Lloyd cemetery.  He was deacon in the 
Congregational church of Columbus and Ebensburg and for 16 years was Treasurer of 
the Congregational Sunday School, Ebensburg.  Mr. Mills was also a member of Lodge 
No. 145, I. O. O. F., of Columbus and of Seventh Encampment in the Odd Fellows.

Mr. Mills' illness began four years ago.  For 14 months he was confined to his bed and 
for six months he was entirely helpless.

The body will be taken to Columbus for interment following brief services at the 
residence here this afternoon.
