JACOB
MILLER FAMILY
Fritts/Alsever/Dence/Chaffee
and more...
Many thanks to Eric Schultz for submitting
this information. Eric says, "I am researching one of the many Miller
families in Oswego and Onondaga Counties. I recently found
the following two articles in the Syracuse Herald. The first article
is dated 28 June 1918 and the obituary is dated 29 April 1935. I
have a little information on some of the names mentioned, but have not
yet been able to identify all of the people attending the reunion.
If anyone is researching any of these names I would be interested in hearing
more and exchanging information." Thanks, Eric. [email protected].

Here is an obituary I found

to D. R. Fritts, who was in attendance at the Miller reunion.
