Susan Tolman Mills
Susan Tolman Mills (1826 – 1912) was the co-founder of Mills College (formerly the ''Young Ladies Seminary'' at Benicia, California).
==Background==
Mills was born on November 18, 1826,〔 in Enosburgh, Vermont. She was one of eight children of John Tolman and Elizabeth (Nichols) Tolman. Her family moved to Ware, Massachusetts by 1836, where her father and brothers expanded the family's tannery business. She graduated from Mount Holyoke College (then ''Mount Holyoke Female Seminary'') in 1845.
As a young woman, Mills taught at Mount Holyoke Female Seminary 〔 the first three years after she herself graduated, and was a teacher there during Emily Dickinson's year at the Seminary in 1847-1848. She continued to teach at the seminary until she married the missionary Cyrus Mills on September 11, 1848. In October of that year they departed to teach in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), on an assignment from the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. They taught there for many years, until they returned to Boston in 1854. Mrs. Mills contracted amoebic dysentery during their tour abroad, and was in distinctly ill health by the time they returned to the United States.〔
