An e-mail was received from one of Huldah (Cameron) Mills' descendants and permission granted to use the information below:
"...the train accident that killed (the e-mailer's) great grandmother Huldah Cameron Mills, and her daughter 'Kitty' Catherine Isabell Mills. They were driving a horse & buggy, the train whistle was not functioning properly, there was a lot of snow, they did not see the train coming and the horse and buggy were hit this happened the day after Christmas 12/26/1901. It was a gruesome accident. It was in the Lansing State Journal on Friday 12/27/1901. The other copy I have is for Friday, January 3, 1902 (Jury Didn't Fix Blame. Library of Mich, Law Library 3730360 State Archives 3731408). Mother and daughter were buried together at the Glendale Cemetery, Okemos, Michigan."
