Individual Details

Alexander F. Miller

(8 Jan 1821 - 24 Aug 1851)




FindAGrave states Alexander married Rachel Steelsmith, 6 Nov 1845, but that doesn't seem to be quite right. There are no dates, and no stone pictured - and no such marriage in the Indiana State Library Marriage database. If he married her, she died soon after the marriage.
