The son of my 4th great-grandparents, Duston and Louisa (Stapleton) Mills, Byron was a carpenter like his father. He built the People's Planing Mill in Princeton, 1881, which sat behind the Southern Railroad Depot and brother-in-law Samuel Greek's mill.
He served as a private in Company B with his brother Albert Mills, during the Civil War. He was a charter member of GAR Post 28.
He married, first, to Mary Jane Curry 4 May 1855 in Gibson County. They had eight children before her death in 1882. He then married 29 May 1883 to Ellen G. Spencer, who helped raise his youngest daughter, Katherine, then 4 years old. Ellen died in 1933.
They lived at 514 North Race Street, a house Ellen kept until her death. James T. Tartt wrote about Byron's lumber mill, "The People's Planing Mill was built and began businessin July, 1881. It is owned by Byron Mills. It turns out flooring, ceiling, molding and all kinds of work usually done in this class of business" (p. 163, A History of Gibson County, Indiana).
He died of cirrhosis of the liver at the age of 73.
