Tragedy struck the Mills family in 1900 when four Mills children were taken by Diptheria/Scarlet Fever. Heartbroken, Charles and Sarah returned to Missouri and never returned to Wyoming. Thomas Sherman Mills (a brother to Charles) and his wife Drusilla Fitzgerald Mills also lost a child to the same disease in 1900 and she is buried here with her cousins.
