When Ida Rupright Mills died in 1933, her Elzey's funeral home information listed four
children, sons Homer and John, and daughters Mrs. Bessie Young, and Mrs. George B.
Morris.
When her husband Sylvester Mills d. in 1936 the two daughters names were Mrs. W.A.Merkey
and Mrs. Mildred Morris.
The obituary of John W. Mills, who d.1959, son of Sylvester and Ida Mills, gives his
sisters names as Mrs. Wm. Merkey and Miss Mildred Mills.
The Cemetery Index for Wells Co. lists Mildred Mills (1891-1978) and Bessie E. (Mills)
Merkey (1899-1985)
It seems Bessie md. Wm Merkey sometime between the years her parents died, and that
Mildred md. George B. Morris bef. the 1930 census. George B. "Monis" as indexed
ancestry.com, wife Mildred and her two daughters Alice and Josephine are living in
Bluffton in the 1930 census. It seems Mildred later took back her maiden name of Mills.
Hope this helps.
