- Died
- On Friday February 6th, 1914, at the sanitarium in Dallas, Uncle Jonnie MILLS, whom every body that knew him had learned to love. Bro. MILLS was in his fifty-fifth year. He was born in Missouri, in 1860 and with his parents when very young moved to Texas, stopping in and near the Elm Community, where he had continued to live up to his death. A man that lived in the full confidence of all who knew him, dying without a known enemy.
- The writer has a funeral record of over 1300 funerals preached by him. But he does not know that he has ever preached the funeral of a better man. Bro. MILLS lived to love and beloved, always the same man in all places. Bro. MILLS was poor in this worlds goods but vastly rich in heavenly goods. A good name is far better than the treasures of gold and silver, yea, more to be desired than much fine gold. This the deceased possessed beyond doubt. It is surely an inspiration to the preacher when he can hold up to the world such lives as herein described. The remains were laid to rest in the Sowers Cemetery yesterday, Feb. 8th, in the presence of a large circle of sorrowing relatives and friends. The services were conducted by Dr. L. COMBO. The sympathy of his entire acquaintance go out to his beloved wife and children, and may the directing hand of an allwise God direct them as was the husband and father.
