 * The transcription on FindAGrave.com for Minnie Miller says she died on 30 May 1883, aged 14 years 6 mos & 24 days.  However, the 1880 census clearly lists her age in 1880 as 5 years.  We believe the gravestone should be transcribed as died in 1888, which would put her birth date at about 6 Nov. 1874.  When the 1880 census was taken in June, she had not yet had her 6th birthday.   The Butler Co. Cemetery Inventory transcribes the death date as 30 May 1889, but in that case, she should have been age 6 at the time of the 1880 census.  If the family were literate and the age in 1880 were correct, we believe her birth year to be 1874.
-* From Ann Fix:  The graves for Henry Miller & daughter Minnie are near those for John C. Stoughton and Mary Jane McCandless Stoughton.  Mary O. Stoughton Miller was buried in the same row as Henry and daughter Minnie Miller, but at the very end of the row, near the lake. <br>Note:Henry Miller died in 1887, followed closely by daughter Minnie, age 14, in 1888. Mary and Henry may have owned only a two grave plot.  Or possibly Mary's parents provided space for Hery in their plot and later Mary wanted Minnie buried beside her father.

Stoughton (4 gravestones), the third stone is that of Henry Miller and the fourth is Minnie Miller.  It is possible that John Stoughton purchased the four-grave plot.
