Lewis Este Mills (August 13, 1836-April 10, 1878) was an American lawyer and author. Mills, son of Lewis and Sarah A. Mills, was born in Morristown, N. J., August 13, 1836. He graduated from Yale College in 1856. He studied law at first in Morristown, and afterwards completed his studies in Cincinnati, where he was admitted to the bar in November 1858, and became a partner in the firm of Mills & Hoadly, of which his elder brother Edward Mills was the senior member. In 1859 he formed a partnership with A. T. Goshorn in the same city. He joined the army in the late civil war as a volunteer aide-de-camp on the staff of Gen. R. B. Potter, and served in the Army of the Southwest during that year's campaign, which included the siege of Vicksburg. Returning to Cincinnati, he was married, Jan. 7, 1864, to Jean Springer, daughter of Charles Springer, and thereafter gradually withdrew from active practice and devoted himself to travel and literary pursuits. He published a revision of ''Handy's Reports of the Superior Court of Cincinnati'' (in 1877), and printed privately (in 1867) a volume of ''Glimpses of Southern France and Spain''. He went to Europe (for the fourth time) in the summer of 1877, and after traveling in Normandy and passing the winter in Brussels, had reached Florence, Italy, in an invalid condition, where while wasting away from a disease of the kidneys a sudden attack of heart-disease ended his life on April 10, 1878, at age 42. His wife survived him, without children. ==External links== * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lewis Este Mills」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
