Major Mills was a veteran of World War II and the Korean War retiring after 30 years of active military service in 1969. He successfully worked his way up from the enlisted ranks in both the U.S. Navy (1939-1946) and U.S. Air Force (1947-1969). He served on the Destroyer USS Sterett (DD-407) in the Pacific Theater. In March 1944, Major Mills received a direct commission as an Ensign and rose to the rank of Lt. Junior Grade by the end of the war. In 1946, he left active naval service and returned home to operate the Holly Grove Store with his father and brother, Manuel.

| 899 | Confederate Veteran. William’s parents were William Whitehead and Meren or Marion Moberly. William was born in 1812 and Meren/Marion was born in 1811, both in Kentucky. William was born in Crawford County, Arkansas in 1835. During the war, William fought for the Confederacy in Arkansas. Later, he moved to Texas and met Mary Williams a widow with a young daughter. They married in 1868 in Denton County, Texas and settled in Bolivar. In Bolivar on July 29th 1866, after the war Captain Whitehead was in a posse that was hastily organized by his neighbor in Bolivar, William Crow Wright, when a gang of horse thieves made up of desperate border characters known as desperadoes had raided the country about Bolivar and had driven off some of the finest horses and stock in that part of the county. Also in the party were W.C. Wright, R.W. Wright, Dr. I.N. Hembree and James Tiller The chase culminated into a gunfight in which James Tiller and Dr.I.N Hembree were killed. There is a Denton Newspaper article dated Dec 11, 1869 of Dr. Hembree’s 16 year old daughter Lizzie who was staying with Capt. Whitehead and his wife Mary being injured in a fire in their home. She was severely burned but managed to recover and later married. William was a Freemason, and a prominent citizen of both Denton and Brown counties in Texas. He served with Terry’s Texas Rangers and helped hunt for the outlaw, Sam Bass. Once when he was out on the search, Sam, who knew Captain Whitehead was looking for him, snuck back to the house, and pulled a gun on Mary, demanding some food. She prepared it for him, and he ate it, keeping a gun trained on her the whole time. Then, leaving a $10 bill on the table, he left. Hours later, when Captain Whitehead returned, Mary told him what had happened, but emphasized that Sam Bass had paid her for the meal. Mary died in 1910 and William died in 1916, both in Brown County, Texas. Above information provided courtesy of Find A Grave member Miranda #47442646. | WHITEHEAD, Capt. William Franklin (I859)
