Sarah Ann Kitchen

  General Notes:

Sarah Kitchen Miller came from Massillon, Stark County, Ohio and she had a brother Bill who owned a coal mine there. Some of her many brothers moved to Kifferville, Kalida, Cuba and Elm Center, Ohio.

It was shortly after Sarah's death that the rest of the family left the family farm and went their separate ways. John Harvey Miller and his family moved to Michigan. Margaret Miller and her family moved to Oklahoma. Current information suggests the other brothers and sisters stayed in Ohio. Olive Shoemaker, foster daughter, moved to Michigan.
