    Joseph MILLS

    December 8, 1908 Joseph MILLS was accidentally shot high on the left arm by John CLEVELAND at the Cleveland farm 2 miles west while hunting. Cleveland’s trigger caught on a corn stalk. The arm was shot off too close to the shoulder to use a tourniquet and he bled to death.  (Source - Chronology of the early settlers of White Breast Township and Lacona compiled by Edith HEEMSTRA and John FORD sometime around 1980.)
