Notes for Janie Miller
Her gravestone, a double one with Sanford, is inscribed Jane West Highley, Sep 5, 1892 - Dec 29, 1970.
The birth records for her children all give her maiden name as Miller, but she does not appear with the family of Leck and Laura Belle Miller in the 1900 census (although she does in 1910.) So it may be that she was born a West, and adopted by Leck and Laura.
