PIONEER MERCHANT OF BUSHNELL BURIED SUNDAY
Thomas Padgett and family, George Moss and Family of North Plains and Mr. and Mrs. 
William Padgett of Muir attended the funeral of William H. Mills from his late
residence in Bushnell township, Montcalm county, Sunday. Burial was made at Sheridan under
Masonic auspices. The deceased kept store at Bushnell for 35 years and was postmaster there
until the office was discontinued with the coming of rural free delivery. He is survived
by a son, Joel D. Mills, of Lansing, and a daughter, Mrs. Freeman Taylor.

Mr. Mills was a grandson of the late Major Mills, who made the first land entry in
North Plains township on section 19. George Moss, who occupies the farm at the present
time, is the last surviving grandson of Major Mills, and has in his possession a deed signed
by Martin VanBuren, who was President of the United States at the time the deed was
made. The farm has always remained in the Mills family since the time it was taken up from
the government.
