when the William Stockton Miller family moved to the Cottager Grove area, but
it is possible that Etta was born and died in Walker. Given the family is in
Saginaw census in 1910 and Aunt Hazel was born there and Aden is still there with
Etta's widower and child living with him in 1920 assuming Etta was there her
whole life is not too much of a stretch. Les C. 2013</span></div>

I find her living with her widowed father in and her maternal grandparents in 1920 which explains her interest in the family as Aunt Hazel is also in that house in that census. After that no trace of her. I haven't tracked down
all the Aunts, Uncles and cousins yet in 1930, and in fact only found her father in that census by querying his second wife on Family search, but I suspect she must be listed as something besides Helen (Hellen in 1920) in 1930 as I feel like P fairly well searched through all of them in CA, OR, WA and ID who were born between 1912 and 1914. I also turn up nothing on Google west of the Mississippi and several other possible searches either find nothing or all the Helen Monteith's are mothers of children born before 1900 which is a pretty good trick for someone born about 1913.</span><br></div><div class="yiv5351173119MsoNormal" style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:13px;font-family:'times new roman', 'new york', times, serif;background-color:transparent;font-style:italic;"><span style="font-size:16px;font-style:normal;"><br></span></div><div class="yiv5351173119MsoNormal" style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:16px;font-family:'times new roman', 'new york',
