About a month ago two Osceloa Mills residents Stephanie McGuire and Aaron Mills were arrested after police say they abused their three week old baby Lily Jane. Planners of the ‘our town blue’ have also organized a “Light Up for Lily” benefit and spaghetti dinner on April 29th at the Osceloa Mills Columbia fire company’s fire hall. All proceeds will be benefiting the Children’s Miracle network at Geisinger. According to police Lily Jane was treated at the Geisinger at Daniville, which is a Children’s Miracle network hospital.
