Enos Abijah Mills' Parents:
Father: Enos, born 26 December 1834, died 17
February 1910 near Richmond in Wayne Co., Indiana. Married Ann Lamb on
28 August 1855 in Dallas
County, Iowa.
Mother: Ann Lamb, born in Grant County, Indiana on 8
November,
1837, daughter of Josiah and Ruth (Lamb) Lamb. Died 4 March 1923.
Enos became a prominent farmer in Sheridan Township.
From Enos' obituary in the Pleasanton Enterprise:
" I was born in Wayne County, Indiana, near
the town of Richmond, of Quaker parents. I moved to St. Joseph County,
Indiana, 1835 where I lived until I was 18 years
old, and helped to make a farm in that densely timbered. Went to the
state of Iowa in 1850, afoot there were no railroads further west than
Peru, Illinois, 90 miles west of Chicago, crossed
the Mississippi at Rock Island and Iowa City, which was then the
capital of Iowa; went to Dallas County, 50 miles west of Fort Des
Moines, and engaged in
freighting with ox teams from Keokuk.
Was married to Miss Anna Lamb on the 28th day of
July, 1855. We left for Kansas on the first of May, 1857. Eight
families arrived in Linn County on the 6th day of
June, 1857, where we have resided ever since. We came for the
avowed purpose of helping to make Kansas a free state; how we succeeded
is long since a matter of
history. Here, on the border of Missouri, our trouble
began. Frequent raids from Missouri border ruffians, killed our
neighbors. For seven long years we
remained as a picket post.
In 1860, my brother, Enoch, and cousin the Rev. E.
J. Lamb, my wife and self, took the Pikes Peak fever and left on the
14th day of April, 1860; went via Lawrence, Topeka,
Manhattan, up the Republican River until we intersected the Military
road leading from Leavenworth to Fort Kearney, and followed the Platte
River 500 miles to Denver. There were hundreds
of Souix Indians on the road, but we were not molested. Saw a war
dance in the streets of Denver, by the Indians. Our course from
Denver was up the Platte River to South Park. We stopped at the
town Tarryall in South Park and did some placer mining for a short time
and then crossed over the range where
Breckenridge now stand on the Blue River. There was just one
house in Breckenridge, one barrel of whiskey, 25 cents per drink.
Mrs. Mills had the
distinction of being the first white woman that ever crossed the range
west of Tarryall. we took a mining claim No. 2, above
Bisooney. It did not pan out right so I
abandoned mining, I then took one of my mules and a pack saddle, loaded
him with meat at the mouth Gulch and peddled meat to the miners.
I soon quit the meat
business and stopped for a short time in a meat market where gold dust
was legal tender. I was then taken down with the
mountain fever, crossed the range on the 8th day of
July with snow in places 15 feet deep. Mrs. Mills driving the mules as
I was not able to sit up. Three days landed us in the plains to
Eastern Kansas a trip of
700 miles with Indians in plenty for the first 500 miles, camping
all alone." Six weeks after Enos wrote the above account
he died and was buried in the Lamb cemetery.
