Where did you find a listing for Ball Hill Cemetery? Darned if I've been able to find
that. I've been to Ball Hill and a Rachel was buried near William Haslett, presumably
his 2nd wife....I can't help but wonder if this disturbs the eternal rest of her
sister, Mary, Wm's first wife - who sleeps beside him.
I assumed Jacob was buried elsewhere in Ball Hill, and even thought I was told that Jacob
and a brother were both there (by the museum folks years ago). I had never discovered
that he had returned to Owen, Clinton Co (where he was enumerated before he married
Rachel). Perhaps he's buried with his first wife, Elizabeth. Owen Twp in Clinton Co
is immediately south of Democrat, Carroll, IN.
And I have no record of what happened to little Ira J. Miller, but I would infer he DY,
since he is not with Jacob in Joseph and Rachel's home in 1880.
You may not ever find the marriage record, although they were probably married in her
county, Carroll Co. The Carroll Co museum folks stopped the Carroll Co Clerks office in
the middle of disposing of old marriage records about 10 years ago and saved those that
remained - but not all of them.
They have a remarkable amount of information there at the museum...have you contacted them
about Jacob?
