A researcher recently posed a query to me regarding the marriage of Frances “Fanny” Miller and Charles Preston Zigler. After some digging, I found this information and wanted to pass it along to anyone researching this couple. Fanny was about 14 years old when she married William Miller; her parents presumably were both dead c1878 when she married. Just from the census I would say she had an interesting but sad life.
