SEARCHING for
Origins of :

ALBERT MITCHELL MILLER b : October 12, 1872
d : September 14, 1955



WELLS HICKMAN & MARY J. KING were married in Fulton County, Illinois on
Feb.12, 1866. They ' took in '

a baby boy named ALBERT MITCHELL MILLER who was born on Oct. 12, 1872 in
Canton, Illinois.


Wells & Mary moved to the Bushnell, Illinois area when Albert was young
and this was where Albert Miller was raised. Albert was told by the Hickmans
that his mother died when he was born. He was also told that his father was
a Doctor and died when Albert was young.
>
> I have searched in vain for birth records or guardianship records for
Albert. His death certificate lists his parents as ' unknown '.
>Wells Hickman died on 29 Dec 1922 and Mary J. King Hickman died on 16
Nov 1933. They are both buried in the Bushnell, Illinois Cemetery. I can
find nothing more about them...
>
> Albert (Ab) Miller married GERTRUE MAE HAYWORTH CAIN and they lived in
the Bushnell area much of their married lives. Albert passed away on 14 Sept
1955 and is buried in the KING plot of the Bushnell Cemetery. This would be
the maiden name of the woman that raised Albert......

> I would really like to find out who ALBERT MITCHELL MILLER belonged to
and why he was raised by this couple...I am guessing that his mother's
maiden name might have possibly been HICKMAN or KING ( and that this couple
took in a sister's child to raise after she died giving birth ) ....I would
appreciate ANY information ..... Thanks :-)

HAPPY NEW YEAR
TO ALL !!!
