General Notes: Husband - John Mills


He was born in Buckinghamshire, England, and came to America in 1830, settling at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. For many years he was engaged in the brick business, and after the great fire of 1845 furnished the brick for the rebuilding of the city, including the Monongahela House and many other large structures. In 1848 he removed to East Liberty, continuing the business at Dallas. While the Pennsylvania railroad was building its lines into Pittsburgh he furnished the brick for the construction of the tunnels. In 1871 he retired from all active business, and at his death was the owner of considerable real estate in East Liberty.
