- According to John H Winder:
«u»«b»Eliza Kate Winders <http://homepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~annieron/Winder/folks/25252.htm>«/u»«/b» (1855-1940) was born on 1 July 1855 in Washington County, Maryland and came to Ogle County, Illinois with her family as a teenager; she was variously known as (a) 'Kate Eliza' in the Maryland Births and Christenings Index, (b) 'Elva K' in the 1870 census as transcribed by one indexer and 'Elon K.' by a different indexer, and (c) 'Elvine K.' on her wedding license from Ogle County. She moved with her parents to outside Springfield, in Clark County, Ohio when she was quite young, and was enumerated there in the 1860 census. By 1870, the family had returned to Polo and she married George E. Miller (a native of West Virginia, born there in 1852) in Ogle County, Illinois on 24 November 1874. By the time of the 1880 census, the couple were living in Minneha Township of Sedgwick County, Kansas (on the eastern edge of Wichita) with their two sons, Ross (aka Louis B.) and Ray H. Miller. Continuing her tradition of baffling census takers, she was listed as "Alba Miller" in the 1880 census. Sometime before 1920, Elva and George moved to California (they are missing from the 1900 and 1910 census), appearing in 1920, living on 16«sup»th«/sup» Street in Los Angeles, where George was working as a cabinet maker. George Miller died in 1937 (according to a family tree on Ancestry\emdash no official records could be found to verify) and Eliza Kate/Elvine/Elva K. died in 1940 (again, no official records were found to verify). The couple had two sons: Louis B. "Ross" Miller, born 11 Nov 1875 in Polo, Illinois and died 30 May 1954 in San Francisco; and Ray H. Miller, born 1 Nov 1878 in Wichita, Kansas and died 24 Oct 1955 in Groveland, Tuolomne County, California.
