Note

Possibly Lizzie Rebecca Fowble Miller (1872-1964), wife of Noah Miller, mother of Frank Monroe Miller who died of Spanish Flu in USN during WWI. However, the woman pictured appears too old to be her if photographed during the decade that Haugh was in business in York Road (Keymar). Possibly Sarah Elizabeth Carbaugh Miller (1872-1930), wife of William Cornelius Miller, mother of Wilbur Fogle Miller Sr. However, also appears too old in the photograph. A stronger candidate, as son Wilbur is featured in another photo found with this one.
