GEORGE MILLS
PASSED AWAY

SUDDEN AND UNEXPECTED
DEATH OF WELL KNOWN
YOUNG MAN TODAY.

The announcement of the death at 1 o'clock today of George Mills, manager of the Mills Bros.' bottling works, and son of the late ex-alderman, William Mills, was a shock to residents of the city generally. Only as late as Wednesday the young man was in active charge of the exhibit of his company at the Merchants and Manufacturers' exhibition at Highland park, and was in his usual health and spirits.

After his return home that evening he was stricken with acute peritonitis, and his condition rapidly grew alarming. He grew steadily worse, and late last night an operation was resorted to, Drs. Knox, Christie and Shawgo undertaking the same, in the hope that relief would be obtained. It was unsuccessful, and the young man died today at the hour mentioned. Doubly sorrowful is his death at this time, as his wife, formerly Miss Lillian Salmon, to whom he was married a little less than three years ago, is at Blessing hospital, where a babe was born to the couple but ten days since.

The deceased was born in Quincy in June of 1888, and was a little more than 22 years of age. He was widely acquainted throughout the city which had always been his home, his interest in athletics having always been notable, his connection along those lines giving him many friends. He was a prominent member of Quincy lodge of Elks, and was also a member of the local nest of Owls.

He leaves beside his wife and babe, a brother, John Mills, and a sister, Miss Nellie Mills, who with other relatives and friends survive to mourn his loss.
