General Notes: Husband - Isaac Mills

---

He was well educated in public and private schools, including State College, Centre County, Pennsylvania, and worked on the farm until 1861 when he enlisted in Company A, Sixty-third Regiment Pennsylvania Volunteer Infantry, United States army, going out as sergeant and coming home with a captain's commission. He served three years, participated in many battles, marched with Sherman from "Atlanta to the sea," and when his term expired received an honorable discharge. On his return home he opened a store on Liberty street, Pittsburgh, dealing in cement, sewer pipe and mason's materials. He added to his mercantile lines the business of contracting, being the pioneer contractor of the various kinds of cement construction in Pittsburgh. He continued in successful business in Pittsburgh for twenty years, but retained his residence in Braddock. After twenty years in active business, he retired, and after his father's death, he devoted his time to the management and settlement of the estate left by the latter. The old farm he divided into streets and building lots, which soon attained great value, his brother, James K., being also associated with him in the work of handling the property. In time the land was covered with buildings and was added to the city of Braddock as the third ward. Isaac Mills served two terms as burgess of Braddock and was always active in public affairs. He was a Republican in politics, a member of the church, Disciples of Christ, the Grand Army of the Republic and the Union Veteran Legion.
