      Footnotes:
      1. A reference to her second husband Martin Miller (abt. 1797-1893)
      2. John Henry Winder, Eliza's son (1847-1930)
      3. Benjamin J. Harman, Eliza's brother (1828-???)
      4. Campbell, Alexander, 1788-1866, clergyman, cofounder of the DISCIPLES OF CHRIST; b. Ireland. His father, Thomas Campbell, 1763-1854, came to the U.S. in 1807 and settled in Pennsylvania, where he withdrew his congregation from the Presbyterian Church. Alexander came to the U.S. in 1809 and joined his father's followers, known as Campbellites. Nominally Baptists (c.1812-c.1827), they advocated a return to scriptural simplicity and became the Disciples of Christ. Alexander founded (1840) Bethany College in West Virginia.
      5. Her son, Marcellus Duane Winder, presumably because of his initials, was referred to as "Doc".
      6. Eliza died soon after she wrote this letter, 26 Feb 1889.
      7. Molly's note: Elizabeth Ellen Winder and David Garber's daughter Ruthie Inez Garber died at age 3 on December 9, 1888 in Aspen and their daughter Bertha Eunice Garber died at about age 15 on March 22, 1889 in Aspen. Elizabeth's husband David Henry Garber died May 22, 1889 in Aspen.

      Note added in Alphronia (Lamb) Smith's handwriting: Great Grandma Miller.
