Notes

Text:
Notes · Born in Algonac, Mich. The first born daughter in a family of ten children. Died in Marysville, Mich. [1]
· Their oldest girl was Mary, my mother, born 1842. She was married in 1862 to Nelson Mills, who came from Canada in 1844, and had been a ship-carpenter in Marine City until he joined Miron Williams in lumbering on the Turnpike about 1850. [544] Census Data · 1850 Census: St. Clair, St. Clair, Michigan. Age 8, b MI. [1637] · 1860 Census: Vicksburg, St. Clair, Michigan. Age 18, b MI. [1661] · 1870 Census: Marysville, St. Clair, Michigan. Age 28, b MI. [1689] · 1880 Census: Marysville, St. Clair, Michigan. Age 39, b MI. [1707] · 1884 Michigan Census: age 42, b Michigan. Father born Vermont; mother born · MARYSVILLE - One name is as good as another.....or is it? In 1843 Edward Vickery bought land and erected a sawmill at the point where Mud Creek flowed into the St. Clair River, at the foot of what today is Huron Boulevard. The name given this location was Vickery's Landing. As the surrounding settlement grew it eventually became known as Vicksburg. Vickery sold his sawmill in 1852 to Lewis Brockway and Horace Bunce, who in turn sold it to Nathan Reeves, Myron Williams and Nelson Mills in 1854. In 1859 Nelson Mills ordered a piano for his daughter Mary. The delivery destination was given as Vicksburg, Michigan. Unknown to Nelson Mills, there was also another city in Michigan, a much older city, called Vicksburg, in the southern part of the state just southeast of present day Kalamazoo. The piano was mistakenly shipped to the other Vicksburg. The shipping agent told Mr. Mills that his piano had been shipped and had arrived in Vicksburg without a scratch. Mr. Mills, knowing that his daughter's piano had not arrived in the settlement, vehemently denied the piano arrived at its proper destination. Further checks made by the shipping agent discovered that there wer in fact two settlements in Michigan called Vicksburg. The shipping agent was able to retrieve the piano and personally delivered it to Mr. Mills and his daughter Mary. In 1859, at the insistence of Nelson Mills, the name of the settlement, located on the western bank of the St. Clair River, was officially changed to Marysville, in honor of both his wife and daughter.

Marriage · When Nelson Mills and Mary Williams married in 1863 they bought and lived in the house vacated by the Hubbard family. In 1868 the house burned. Myron Mills, then one and one-half years old, miraculously escaped being trapped in the fire. N. Mills then began building the brick home that stood sixty-five years as a landmark on the St. Clair River. [1131]
· Mr. and Mrs. Nelson Mills, Marysville, Mich., have been here attending the funeral of the late Mrs. Mary Read [Mary Hamilton Nelson Read]. Mr. Mills returned immediately after the funeral, but Mrs. Mills remained and is the guest of Mrs. S. E. [Margaret Ann Mills; Mrs. Samuel Eli] Arnold this week
