NOTE - Unfortunately I cannot determine whoe "Millie" was based on the name or age. She could have been either Villa or Elva but her age of 35 in 1920 puts her birth year right inbetween those two daughters. Because the 1920 census based age at January 1st, that would mean that Millie's birth year was probably 1884 which is closer to Villa's birth year of 1883.
