"From Mary Margaret Bunning: My grandfather, Titus Miller, was born in Harrisburg, Penn. When his family moved to Lincoln, Nebraska, he met Lillian Grace Hill. They became teenage sweethearts. The tales are that at some time Grandpa Titus came south to work and Lillian Grace Hill married [F. E. Bailey] and had a daughter named Adele. One day her husband left for work and was never seen again. Years later, a man's body was found in the basement of an old building and was tentatively indentified as her husband. My grandfather heard of Lillian's plight and returned to Lincoln to propose to Lillian. She said she wanted to change her name so they were married in her sister's home in Kansas, May, 1896. Grandpa Titus raised Adela as his own. They had seven boys and four girls."
