The Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks in the nation mourns the death of Honorable Thomas Brooks Mills of Superior, Wis., who died suddenly at Clearwater, Florida
Wednesday of this week.
Affiliating with the Elks in 1887 as a member of Milwaukee Lodge No. 46, he became a charter member of Superior Lodge in 1898, and served as exalted ruler that year.
