Ada Mills


Ada Belle Parks Mills (March 4, 1912 – September 30, 2001)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Social Security Death Index )〕 was a Republican political activist in the U.S. state of Arkansas who in 1980 was the only delegate initially committed to the candidacy for president of former Governor John B. Connally, Jr., of Texas. Connally spent some $11 million in his 13-month primary campaign, which ended in withdrawal following his loss to Ronald W. Reagan of California in the South Carolina primary. Mrs. Mills received brief national media attention as the "$11 million delegate."

==Civic and business activities==

Mills was born in Prairie Grove in Washington County in northwestern Arkansas to Clifford Parks and the former Belle Simmons. She was an active promoter of her ''alma mater'', the Presbyterian-affiliated University of the Ozarks in Clarksville, the county seat of Johnson County, Arkansas. She graduated from the institution in 1931, and two years later, she and her husband, Joe B. Mills (1909–1997),〔 were the first to be married in the then newly opened chapel on the campus. She was a long-term president of the university's alumni association, a member of its board of trustees, and in 1970 was awarded an honorary doctorate.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ada Mills )

Joe and Ada Mills founded and operated Ozark Hardwood Manufacturing Company, Mills Oil Company, Ozark Box and Crating Corporation, and Ozark Hardwood Lumber Company. They also operated F&M Box and Crating Corporation in Caney in Montgomery County in southeastern Kansas, and the Texas Container Corporation in Texarkana, Arkansas. In 1973, Mrs. Mills received the Small Business Administration "Businessperson of the Year" award. She served on numerous local, state, and national business commissions.〔
For more than four decades, she spearheaded the campaign to build a replacement bridge on Arkansas Highway 109 over the Arkansas River between Clarksville and the community of Morrison Bluff in Logan County. The since-named Ada Mills Bridge is the longest such span in the state of Arkansas.〔
