The Betsey Mills Club – Marietta, Ohio. This outstanding Community Center and club for girls, was established when the house at the corner of Fourth and Putnam was given by Mr. and Mrs. Mills in 1916. This was the birthplace of Mrs. Mills and also of her nephew, Vice President Charles G. Dawes. In 1927, Mr. Mills built the present beautiful group-building which serves as a memorial to his wife, Betsey Gates Mills.
