Narrative

Note: Researching Jesse Wilbur Miller and family

I have had some difficulty finding some of the records and details for Jesse and his family, owing at least in part to the deaths of his only daughter Hilda, his wife Rose Etta, and himself (in order) all in the space of nine years and all prior to 1949.

His wife's name is transcribed in various forms in the census records, but the gravestone she shares with Jesse gives it as Rose Etta. I have not found a marriage record and no information so far on her maiden name; if I assume that she was resident in either Huntington Cty or Whitley Cty, Indiana as a young girl in 1880, I can find nearly a half-dozen potential candidates, though it's possible she was not born and raised in the same part of Indiana as Jesse was.

I have not found a marriage record for Jesse and Rose Etta, though I would expect they likely married in the late 1890s somewhere in Indiana.

I also have not found precise birth dates for any of the three but Jesse - his can be found on his WWI draft registration card, and confirmed on his marriage record in 1945 to Emma Walsh. As of the 1900 US Census listing for their household, taken on 4 Jun 1900, Hilda was listed as an infant, which confirms she must have been born in the first half of the year and suggests that she might well have been only days old at that time.

I have only the year of death for the three of them as taken from their gravestones, as I have not found death records or obituaries for any of the three of them thus far.

Though I have not yet confirmed it (as I have not completed my research into his siblings yet), as the youngest of seven children I believe Jesse likely survived all of his siblings, in addition to his wife and daughter. At the time of his death, I believe his nearest surviving biological family were his two adult granddaughters, Millicent Maxine and Betty Joan.
