Francis Ann Payton Mills was born in Schuyler County, Mo. June the 9th, 1843. Died July 7th, 1923 being 80 years and 28 days old. She has lived all her life in Schuyler County.
She was married to Andrew J. Mills February 24, 1859. To them were born 6 children, 4 boys and 2 girls. John C. Mills of Kirksville; and Lura E.; now Mrs. Westbrook of Lancaster, being all that are living. Mr. Mills died May the 8th, 1879 and Mother Mills has made her home with her daughter Mrs. Westbrook for more than 30 years.
Besides the son and daughter there are nine grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren, two brothers and three sisters living, together with more distant relatives and the large circle of friends in sadness today because of her going away. The brothers are John C. Payton of Kirksville, and Joseph Payton of Queen City; and the sisters are Mrs. Emma Tittsworth of Kirksville, Mrs. Lura Easton of Greentop and Mrs. Laura Fugate of Sublett.
Mrs. Mills was a charter member ?............[should say of Meridan Rebekah but newspaper is folded and unreadable] lodge at Lancaster and was buried under auspices of that order with all the honors of a worthy sister.
She was converted in Lancaster while brother Simpson Ely was holding a meeting here 33 years ago. She was baptised and became a member of the Christian Church in which faith she has lived and died. She was known especially for her words of kindness and deeds of charity, patient and gentle in her manner, faithful and true in her life.
Though she has suffered a great deal, having both arms broken, being nearly blind, yet she continued on, and rounded out her full four score years, and without any long continued sickness or very great suffering, she quietly went to sleep at four o'clock Saturday morning.
The funeral services were held in the Christian Church, Sunday, July 8, 1923, Elder G. W. Kitchen preaching the sermon. The body was tenderly laid to rest in the IOOF Cemetery. The Republican joins the many friends in extending sympathy to the bereaved relatives.
