Transcribed for internet by Anne M. Cady

The following biography is extracted from the “History of the North Country – A History embracing Jefferson, St. Lawrence, Oswego, Lewis and Franklin Counties, New York” by Harry F. Landon.  This massive history consists of three large volumes with hundreds of short biographies.  As time permits, I will be transcribing the entries with ties to Saint Lawrence County and putting them online.

One of the most prominent of the younger physicians and surgeons of St. Lawrence County is Dr. Mills, who is associated in practice with his father, Dr. David M. Mills, at Gouverneur.  He was born at Brasie Corners, St. Lawrence County, Nov 28, 1904, the son of Dr. David M. and Grace (Brasie) Mills.  A sketch of Dr. David M. Mills appears in this history.
