      HONORING THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE MILLS & MILLS LAW FIRM

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. MICHAEL H. MICHAUD

                                of maine

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 29, 2011

  Mr. MICHAUD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Mills & 
Mills law firm of Farmington, Maine on their 100th year anniversary.
  A century ago, Sumner P. Mills came to Farmington in order to marry 
Flora Pearson and build a business. It was on the corner of Main Street 
and Broadway in downtown Farmington where his law firm set up shop, and 
to this day it remains a fixture of the community there. Sumner Mills 
had the good fortune to watch his son Peter inherit his legal talents, 
and the two began working together in 1940, forming the original Mills 
& Mills office. For generations, the Mills family has lent their 
expertise to serve the Farmington community, the state of Maine, and 
their country.
  Over the years, Mills & Mills has remained an integral part of the 
Farmington community. In its early days, the firm took on a wide range 
of cases that covered everything from real estate to criminal and 
domestic law. The law firm has evolved over the decades, but its 
service to the town remains strong from each generation to the next.
  I have had the distinct pleasure of working with Peter, Janet and 
Dora Mills, the grandchildren of Sumner. They have all reached a level 
of accomplishment befitting of their family's proud tradition of public 
service. It is this devotion to community which has sustained Mills & 
Mills for all these years.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in congratulating Mills & Mills on the 
100th anniversary of its founding.
