William Mills
All of the following information is available at Ancestry.com.
Today I found an ancestor, William Mills, on the 1900 Census. He was in Tooele County, Utah and can be found in Enumeration District 148, Sheet #1 Line 71. It says that his parents were from Ireland, his wife's parents were from Scotland, and that he had two sons living with him, William Jr. and Francis J., who are 27 and 10 respectively. His wife's name is Francis J. and she was 53 at the time, and William was 59. I also found him on the Utah Death Index. He died 18 February, 1915, age 73, in Tooele County. His state file number is 1915000754. According to the Utah Cemetery Inventory Record, he was buried in the Tooele City Cemetery on 21 February 1915. Frances was found in the Bradford Massachusetts Vital Records to 1850 Record. The full text is "Frances Jane, daughter of Esther Jane [b. Epsom and ], b. 17 Apr 1849." This may be a different person.
I also found their son, John Mills, on the 1900 Census, Mercur, Tooele, Utah; Roll: T623 1686; Page: 17A; Enumeration District: 146. He was living in Mercur, Tooele and it says that he was a "Roomer." It says that he was a gold miner. He was also in the 1920 Census, Tooele, Tooele, Utah; Roll: T625_1867; Page: 23B; Enumeration District: 184; Image: 878. Here he is married to Stella R. and has two daughters, Stella J. and Laura H., ages 16 and 11. It says that Stella R's father was born in Scotland and her mother in Utah. It also appears that John worked at a smelter. In the 1930 Census (Stockton, Tooele, Utah; Roll: 2422; Page: 1A; Enumeration District: 16; Image: 1027.0.), there is a John Mills in Stockton, Tooele that is a carpenter. He is the only one listed in his household, but he is 54 which is the right age.
Their other son, Foster, born in 1871, is found in the 1900 Census, Stockton, Tooele, Utah; Roll: T623 1686; Page: 1A; Enumeration District: 148. It says that he was a miner of silver and lead. He is married to a Leanore S. and has two sons, Frank M. and John F. 2 years and 8 months respectively. According to the Utah Cemetery Inventory Records, he was born 23 February 1872, died 26 June 1900 (merely four years after his marriage), and was buried in the Tooele City Cemetery, site 5-23-1, on 28 June 1900.

Foster Mills was married to Sarah Lenore Marsden. He was killed in a mining accident in Stockton (I believe it was toxic gas)
