Joseph (Eos Thom) was a miller for nearly fifty years. He was a very obliging man who would not see a person “stuck” if he could help him. A few years before his death, his grist and saw mills at Rear Xmas Island were destroyed by fire; but he replaced the saw mills by others more modern than those destroyed. His first wife was Teresa, daughter of John McMillin of Red Islands.
