History of Adair County, 1911 By Eugene Morrow Violette Page 565 ------------ The Kirksville, Mo., Daily Express has the following account of the Memorial Services held by the Adair County Bar for John C. Mills: An appropriate and impressive Memorial exercise was held for the late Attorney John C. Mills, Sr. by members of the Adair County Bar Association in the Circuit Court room yesterday afternoon at 1 o'clock. The service was attended by members of the bar as well as members from bars in nearby counties. Attorney Mills was praised for his ability as a lawyer, his fidelity to his friends and clients, his useful and active life, his zeal and diligence in all he undertook. Judge Campbell who had been associated with him in many cases, stated that he was a valuable man as an associate in a case and a dangerous man as an adversary. Be if resolved that: The Members of the Adair County Bar join in sorrow with the family and friends of John C. Mills, Sr. We have long known him as a brother and father in our profession. His long service in the community both as a business man and as a lawyer are known far and wide. His associates and friends are scattered all over the northern part of the state. His vital personality impressed all with whom he came in contact. His ability and set purposes in behalf of temperance was everywhere felt. He worked with great energy in the things he believed to be right and has left a lasting impression upon the entire community. His esteemed son, Courtland Mills is still with us and upon him will fall his father's mantle, which mantle he will carry worthily. A long, useful, busy life has ended, his allotted time has expired; the call came and he has answered the call without fear. We join with his splendid family in mourning his passing. ------------ From the Kirksville, Mo. Daily Express for Sept. 28, 1932: Attorney John C.
