Getting back to the basic line --
I am searching for information about Volney Clair Miller and John Leslie Miller -- children of Halsey and Elma (Aldrich) Miller and Grandsons of Delilah Priscila (Hixson) Aldrich and Edgar G. Aldrich. I have scoured the site and gained some valuable information, but, of course need much more. I do know that John is buried in Sterling and Volney in Omaha, Neb. I do not have any of their childrens names etc. I do have spouses names, but no maiden name for Anna - second wife of Volney. She is buried in Omaha with Volney, but no dates are available etc.
Thanks, Tom cmjttt@sbcglobal.net 309-797-1614
